An Urgent Issue Regarding Housing...Please Help!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Southern California

Hi everyone,

I’m a transfer student attending USC this fall. I have previously made a reservation on an off-campus apartment but unfortunately, the lease had not gone through before the entire apartment was full. Under this emergency, I contacted many other apartments around campus but all of them were occupied too.

I also called the housing office on campus but was told that nothing was available (I’m also on the waitlist for on-campus dorms).

What should I do as of now? Is there any way I might be able to at least secure a spot for the coming semester?

Thank you!

I’d say get in touch with places like ICON Plaza that offer individual leases and see if they have anything available. Alternatively, go on the USC Housing and Sub/Leases FB group and see if anyone is still trying to sublease their spot for the fall/looking for a roommate.

Perhaps Craig’s list. I would also have all your info and docs ready to submit. We often had to provide pay stubs both year end and most recent among other documents.

I know that the facebook group had quite a few people looking for roommates. You should make a post there!
