Hello everyone :)
It has been a few
weeks since I last posted. Or a month... However finally things are happening!
I completed my
application for TU, the deadline for this application ended on June 1st and at
the end of last week... (Drum roll please!) ... I GOT ACCEPTED! I'm officially
a TU student and am super proud to even have a student email.
With being accepted
a new part of the application process opened up. I now need to apply for
Housing, figure out my insurance, make sure that I have the required
immunizations and also book a flight. I won't get into too much detail about
the insurance part. This is something everyone needs to figure out for
themselves depending on their insurance situation. All students attending TU
are however required to have proper insurance of a certain standard. If you
don't have insurance or your insurance doesn't meet the requirements, TU will
sign you up for their insurance program.
Applying for
Housing is the part which excites me the most. TU has many great Housing
opportunities on campus. You can choose between several Residence Halls and
Apartment Villages. You can check them out here: TU Housing
Personally I find
the Residence Halls "Jane Lottie Mabee" and "LaFortune"
very intriguing. Living in a Residence Hall means living in dorm rooms which
you typically share with another person. Yes, that might actually be difficult
in some ways or others but I'm fantasizing about this US college live and for
me a dorm room is part of that. "Jane Lottie Mabee" is an all-girl
Residence Hall and "LaFortune" is part of the International Living
Community (ILC). Both I think sound really interesting.
On the other hand:
The Apartment Buildings allow more independence. You still usually don't live
alone but with more space and they also seem to be really nice accommodations
as well. It is a hard decision where you want to live if you can't really see
the places for yourself. So I went ahead and applied for "Jane Lottie
Mabee", "LaFortune" and some of the Apartment Villages as well.
I will just let fate decide where I will live during my stay in Tulsa. I'm
confident that everything will fall into place.
Last but not least
I applied for financial help through the university. The deadline is June 15th.
All fingures crossed! It would really be helpful to get some financial help
this way.
Thank you for
reading!
