<p>I just recently got in and have read conflicting stories about Freshmen being able to have apartments (without any special needs) and that apartments are for sophomores only</p>
<p>Yes. I'm a freshman and I got one :) You have to TELL them you want an apartment during orientation. I don't know what the housing situation is going to be next fall quarter (it depends on the amount they're admitting) so I don't know if the option will be open again.</p>
