CAL Housing

<p>For those of you living on-campus, where will you guys be staying and why?</p>

<p>Are transfers students limited to certain units and residence hall? Or may we choose any one that's available? Are we going to be mixed in the the freshmen?</p>

<p>So how does CAL housing work? i know all transfers automatically gets listed as off-campus, does this change once we apply for housing? How likely is it to get our first-choice, and how likely is it to get it through appeal?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Any pass transfers want to shed some light? Are transfer limited to where they can stay?</p>

<p>You will most likely end up in the suites with other transfers and a few freshmen</p>

<p>I suggest getting an apartment, on campus housing is hella expensive</p>

<p>Transfers are not limited in their choice of housing. But, only Wada in unit 2 is specifically designed for transfer students. If you are in any other building, you will be probably be mixed in with Freshmen. I hear that the mini-suites also have a fair amount of transfers, but also plenty of sophomores.</p>

<p>Once you get your housing, you will have to submit an appeal form in order to have your financial aid changed to on-campus. The process is fairly simple, so its nothing to worry about now. However, if you get an on-campus apartment such as Wada, you will still be considered off-campus for the purposes of financial aid.</p>

<p>I would highly suggest filing an appeal if you don't get the housing you prefer. Many people I know got into Wada through appeal. I think appeals are so successful because many people apply for housing as a backup, and then turn down their offers when they get their own apartments. This is a little known fact-- so take advantage of it!</p>

<p>laguna. by apartment do u mean Wada or off campus apartment? do we need to find those apartment ourselves?</p>

<p>The Off-campus ones (not Wada) you need to find yourselves</p>

<p>The Bowditch is considered Off-campus, right?</p>

<p>I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure it's off-campus</p>

<p>Yea it's off campus</p>

<p>wihich dorm is better?..</p>
