<p>I was admitted last thursday after appealing my rejection for transfer admission. I got my packet and whatnot, but does anyone know what's left as far as housing goes? I'll live in a box if i have to, but are dorms pretty much packed by now? Are apartments packed too? How bout graduate/over20 housing?</p>
<p>I'm kind of lost so far. I don't know how they handle extreme late admissions. I'm going to call and see what tips uiuc housing can offer me tomorrow, but any suggestions or solutions in the mean time would be awesome. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>you could make a special trip over there on a weekend or something and go there in person to ask. by phone they might just blow you off and they might not be very helpful in e-mail. university housing might probably be slim right now and only a handful of the private ones would probably still be open by now. apartments are plentiful down there though if you don't mind an apartment.</p>
<p>hi there- i was in your exact same situation last year. univ housing was full and the housing people werent too friendly-- that's for sure!!!! i also found that private cert housing was also full! i ended up in an apartment- a studio. living alone isnt bad, in fact i love it hah! but, you could ALWAYS find a sublet with some people if you think you could get along with them. dont worry, theres always an apartment to rent on campus!</p>
<p>Yea how goes the luck with the housing? LIke you I got my acceptance kinda late, the 9th of June, and I still have nooo idea where I'll be staying. Do I fill out the application online for the apartments (cuz i'm sure the dorms are full) or do I just seek private housing?</p>
<p>If you want a dorm, call or have your mom/dad call EVERY SINGLE DAY, barrade them, tell him that you won't settle for anything less. Maybe it'll work, maybe not</p>
<p>As for private housing, there's probably little bit of room, BUT IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE.</p>
<p>i ended up talking to them the next day and they said there was room in graduate housing, or temporary housing (cubicle in a floor lounge) in the other dorms. So i chose graduate housing in Sherman Hall since I'm 20.</p>
<p>The tenant union office at Illini Union told me that unless you get a single bedroom or efficiency (even smaller) for under 400 bucks, you're better off living in university public housing ($-wise). I was told all the efficiencies and singles for that price were taken, so university housing it was!</p>
<p>Unless you know somone who needs a roomate or you're ok with living with strangers your options are probably a room in Sherman Hall if you are 20 and older, private housing, or an expensive single apartment someplace inconvenient/ off campus. If you do end up in Sherman Hall i'd suggest checking "no meals" on your housing application and buying a meal plan at Illini Towers across the street for about $800 a semester, it ends up being a lot cheaper than the $3,000+ that the public housing wanted, and you won't have to travel to the six-pack dorms for your meals.</p>
<p>PS: for apartment search help contact the UIUC Tenant Union or visit the Daily Illini website (the paper where the most helpful and accurate apartment listings are found).</p>
