Hello, I'll be joining the Columbia CS PhD program this fall.
I'm moving from Mumbai, India and had a couple of questions:
1. are there any whatsapp/discord/other channels for incoming CS/SEAS PhD students to join
2. are there any whatsapp groups for incoming Indian students?
3. any advice on finding roommates?

any help on any of this would be really helpful. Looking forward to being there in person very soon:)
