<p>How does on-campus housing priority work for sophomores? Does the priority date start from the order the deposits were made for the freshman year? Do upper classmen have priority over freshmen? Would a sophomore whose housing deposit was paid in December of the senior year in high school have a chance of getting San Jac or Duren? </p>
<p>Do off-campus apartments usually want guarantors on leases? </p>
<p>Does anyone have a recommendation for an apartment locator service? Are there any to avoid? </p>
<p>Does anyone have recommendations for West Campus apartments? Ones to avoid, ones that are too far from campus to walk, etc?</p>
<p>“How does on-campus housing priority work for sophomores? Does the priority date start from the order the deposits were made for the freshman year?”</p>
<p>Yes. Your very first housing deposit is the one that counts.</p>
<p>“Do upper classmen have priority over freshmen?”</p>
<p>If they initially deposited a year or more earlier they do.</p>
<p>“Would a sophomore whose housing deposit was paid in December of the senior year in high school have a chance of getting San Jac or Duren?”</p>
<p>Yes, definitely. A few freshmen always get into those dorms - you’d be before any of them.</p>
<p>i also have a housing question. i applied for on-campus housing about a month ago, and have not heard anything back. has anybody heard anything? all that my housing page says is “you have an active fall housing application” is that what everybody else’s says?</p>
<p>“You have an active Fall housing contract. The Advance Payment is not required.
You have a regular space/permanent contract . We look forward to having you with us this Fall! Below are services available to you prior to checking in:”</p>
<p>That’s what mine says under the housing status check in green. I guess getting the enrollment deposit waived also waives the advance payment :D. I don’t think you make dorm decisions until later (March?) since that’s when final decisions and honors acceptances are made.</p>
<p>My roommate is studying abroad in Australia for the spring, so I have an extra spot. The place is two story- the first floor has the living room, dining room, kitchen, balcony, fireplace, and coat closet. upstairs is the bedroom, bathroom, huge closet, and washer and dryer (behind a closed door). The upstairs bedroom window shows the UT tower and the balcony shows a little shopping center with Pluckers, Saxby’s, Cookie Lounge, a salon, etc. Its two streets behind campus!!!</p>
<p>The rent is $500 plus less than $50 in bills which is SUPER SUPER cheap for west campus. It’s a prime location, fully furnished, painted, and decorated, and very spacious. The only thing is that the upstairs room is shared. Currently the room has two beds, two desks, filing cabinet, dresser box, shelving unit. YOU DONT NEED TO BRING A THING!!! </p>
<p>Im an aerospace engineering major so Im never there, besides the fact that im always with my boyfriend so youll have plenty of privacy. I also have pictures so let me know…</p>
