"...empathy, respect, and moral courage". What a joke. The new administration came in and changed everything that used to be good and fun about I-House. They forced out nearly all of the long-term key staff members who had served for years and even decades and replaced them with many Ford Foundation flunkies. I-House became much less of a community home and more of a corporate hub, complete with constant, unwanted, and rather ugly renovations. I enjoyed my time there, and enjoyed meeting so many great fellow residents and staff members, but I was also happy to leave. My advice would be to move out, leave these stupid rules behind, and start new group living arrangements with fellow residents.

This is really unfair to us...a lot of us were not notified about this before they decide to change the guest policies

My husband has already booked his tickets to come to New York based on the old rates! It is very unfair to change this in the middle of the team and contractually is unilateral change of contract! Completely unacceptable

I think this should wait at least until the next semester when we get to agree to the terms for staying. We are mostly international students who are likely to receive guests from abroad and we relied on the previous policy when moving into International House.

I already think the policy is very restrictive. We are adults paying full price for accomodation, we shouldn't even have to pay extra for our guests. Especially in a place full of international students who are bound to have guests from their home country.

My brother is coming to visit me in October. He is going to be staying with me for 2 weeks. Since we were not told or asked about this new guest policy, until this Friday I did not look into arranging his stay anywhere else since the old guest policy allowed us 14 days (7 free and 7 for $20 each) without permission. Any place now is extremely expensive! Hence I would appreciate if the policy is reversed !

I had planned a few weeks ago to invite my boyfriend for two weeks this winter, and we budgeted based on Ihouse's existing guest policy. If I were renting an apartment at equal rent, I would be able to have guests over for FREE. I'm willing to pay the extra fee for the 7 additional nights, but not more. Coming from India, we have a tight budget, and his trip was conceivable only because I have rented a place (at market price) in NY.

The guests policy already seemed like an unfair policy to place on adults paying extremely high rent. As adults we should be able to invite people in our home whenever we want, especially since many of us come from places far away from here, it would be nice to have friends and family to be able to visit us without breaking our bank accounts to accomadate their stay due to a restrictive visitation policy. I-House was established to help students studying far away from home feel more comfortable but it has done the opposite by limiting the amount of friends, family, and suppprt system they can have visit them.
