<p>click on rooms/shared under housing and search UCSC</p>
<p>Another good tidbit: When you get accepted to your school, access the housing site. Many school sites have a place for classified to look up rooms for rent with other students or rooms nearby the school.</p>
<p>You can look on the UCLA site without being student. I did it the other day. Also padfinder.com is pretty legit.</p>
<p>@Kitty. I highly recommend living on campus!! VDC (Vista Del Campo) is the most awesome dorm/apartment for UCI students, ever!!
You have your own private room, and there are 2 bathrooms in a 4-bedroom apartment-like dorm. The $700 payment also comes with cable, electricity, and etc. You guys have your own pool, movie theater, renting movies, and other recreation center. I’m telling you, living there makes you feel like a balllerrr!! I know couple of friends who live there, you’ll love it.</p>
<p>Here is the link what UCI VDC looks like[Don’t worry, its safe]:

<p>Also hoping to transfer to UCSC. I was considering either living on campus in transfer housing, or go the “live with my boyfriend route”, but after clicking on the above link to craiglist housing, I’m enticed… :)</p>
<p>^^ thanks for that link lookinforward</p>
<p>^^^Every other week my friends complain about early morning fire alarms at VDC…apparently, once someone pulls the alarm, it goes off in the ENTIRE community. </p>
<p>That said, VDC is where I signed up for LOL. Applications opened last week…I’m probably going to be looking around for other options anyway…</p>
<p>that VDC looks freaking awesome.</p>
<p>Anyone else look up the campus-affiliated housing for Berkeley? they are all $900+ …ridiculous</p>
<p>@uchappy when you get tired of that one bedroom deal find me and i’ll be in my beach front condo ! ;)</p>
<p>^^ hahah i’m down (;</p>
<p>any reviews on villa siena?</p>
<p>No one wants to dorm in the res halls? Apartments/plazas/suites are too expensive for me.</p>
<p>guys i want to ask a few question about renting an apartment.
I dont have a job, and im leaching family money atm. I know they have no problem paying my rent, but I don’t want to owe them so much. I m a man, and i need to find a way to reduce my living cost.</p>
<p>So is there a way to get a room under 300 dollar? like around 200.
Around 200 i need to share a room or have my own room?
Irvine, Berkeley, LA, Riverside.</p>
<p>^Under 300? Wow you’d have to be insanely lucky. I’ve seen people rent single rooms for at least $600/month in Irvine. In LA, let’s make that around $800/mo if you’re lucky. Some of my friends in Riverside have super cheap singles, like $400-500 a month. Let’s not even discuss Berkeley and their astronomical rent =/ Good luck finding something for around $200/mo.</p>
<p>if you go to Irvine or SD, we should get a house Fer.</p>
<p>^@Ferrarri4XD. Those prices in Irvine and West LA are very unlikely unless you are sharing a 1 bedroom apartment with 4 people. And for Irvine, you will have to pay Homeowners Association, so that also adds up. For Irvine, I know you can live in the surrounding cities like Tustin for a lower price.</p>
<p>less than 300? You can find that…if you want to sleep on the couch in the living room.</p>
<p>@kitty sure bro haha
@lawl I know no choice man.
@4ward no thanks lol.</p>
<p>solution is to find a job hahaha</p>
<p>just wait. you might get a phat financial aid package that will cover your costs that you will find affordable.</p>
