My Semeter Abroad - What's happening?

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!
