<p>Don't any of you kids read the housing contracts? They won't give you a TV, minifridge, or anything like that... just the space to support it. You are welcome to bring those things though, and pretty much anything else with the exception of potential fire hazards (microwaves, toasters, etc.). But, 90% of students can get away with those anyway.</p>
<p>it's too bad they don't give us a microfridge (microwave & fridge) like they do @ ucr</p>
<p>where it says mattress pads are not supplied, does that mean you have to bring your own mattress for your bed? or is that an american term i don't understand...? surely i don't have to supply a mattress for the bed i sleep on...</p>
<p>no, they provide the matress. A matress pad is something you usually put over the matress, but under your sheets. Its like a fitted sheet that just stays on your bed all the time. You don't really have to have one, but since the matress has been used by alot of prople before you, I'd get one. They'll run you $10 at WalMart.</p>
<p>Note to all: get used to not referring to yourselves as kids (I see it a lot on these forums). Kids are children. I don't just mean this in the literal sense: you are adults and will be treated as such at any university (no exception at UCSB) by the faculty, administrators, and other students.</p>
