Information for New Incoming Students

Hi,
Well, I just wanted to tell you all a couple of things that are being talked about/over in the last few days.

1. Net IDs
Please visit the ACCC website and goto the links under the heading "New Accounts". Here you can get to know what your netid is and how to activate it. Also, there is a link to activate the Enterprise ID which is used to access your records and registeration information.

You will also get some info at the IGSA website here.

Please understand that all this is NOT needed before you land here. If you cant figure things out, then dont worry about it.

2. Living here
We have provided information on IGSA Website about housing under the "Current Students"section. It has been done for a reason, which is, that the incoming students dont have to worry about housing till they are here in Chicago. It's no use trying to finalize an apartment etc before you land here because you might end up feeling that the place wasnt meant for you. If you know the person you plan to stay with, then please go ahead.... otherwise, stick to finding room-mates for yourself.

I am saying this because, houses and living conditions here arent the same as in India and you need to be here to decide what is the best kind of accomodation for you.

Hope this helps,
Nalin
