Thank you so si much for the video! I am joining Harvard next academic year and I was today at the seminar on housing and it was so terrifying. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I am glad this was helpful! The housing application process is indeed stressful. Congratulations on your admission :) I would really appreciate it if you could share this video with others who are also applying for housing~
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! This video is truly helpful! :) Do you know whether the earlier view & selection window has more options available? I'm not sure whether the latter view & selection windows have fewer opportunities compared to the earlier ones (The latter left with only remaining ones or something..)
Same questions! My selection window is June 1 this year and I am worried there might be no apartments/very limited numbers of apartments during that week😅
@@yunfeili6063 I would say June 1st is a bit risky, but keep refreshing the housing page after the lottery window as well! There could be occasional housing options available.
Hi, thanks so much for making this video. Very very helpful. Is there any other step in addition to just making the housing application and getting approved, or does that mean you're automatically part of the lottery? Secondly, if you haven't added a co-lesse/roommate in your app, does it mean only studios/1bed will be available options for me or will i be able to see 2b apartments as well in case I find a roommate eventually?
You can still see 2b apartments. You can add someone later on. Once you are approved and the lottery time start you will get an email about the lottery time. I would recommend emailing housing if you want more accurate information :)
Very helpful video :) Do you have any tips on how to optimize the clicking speed for the select window? I am planning on setting an alarm and refreshing it like crazy but I`m also worried that it will be gone very fast :/
You have to be super fast at clicking! I would recommend doing control F to search the keyword of the apartment you want and CLICK immediately! There are several confirmation pages make sure you scroll down and click fast. I was late in clicking for 1 second and the apartment I want was gone... 😥

Good topic, but not many students able to go to Harvard. You are a brilliant girl with bright future.

I got my answers, even on May 25th, all apartment are gone... Start to see external apartments 🥲
Yes, earlier selection windows have more options. The last rounds barely had anything left last year 🥲

Why the lottery precess is Terrifying as someone has commented
It is a really stressful process indeed! Best of luck 🍀
Thanks for the info! Is the application system for the lottery you are talking about on HUH or GSAS grad housing?
It’s HUH housing :)
@@alexandraxiang3 thx^^
During viewings windows, how can you judge the units?
There’s a floor plan of the unit you can click on
By the time I click unit will be gone 😂
@@mohabd7 there’s a day before the selection day you can view units.
