<p>i paid my deposit on time, but delayed the contract (cuz i didnt know) for about a week or so. Now i am placed on the waiting list. Any ideas if ill get a dorm or should i start to look for another place to stay? im thinking about the uvtowers. any suggestions??</p>
<p>How do you know if you got waitlisted?</p>
<p>@bape856: well the housing presentation did mention that a lot of people will actually drop their housing due to various reasons, and they will be filling the spaces with the wait-listed people, but just in case, look for a close-by apartment (if u can’t commute)
@rikkomontanez: u will know once u attend the orientation. The top right corner will say either H,W, or C. H means u will have housing, W means u r wait-listed, and C means u r a commuter</p>
<p>@rikkomontanez: Or better yet… Go to the UCR housing website and check the status of your application.</p>
<p>@bape856: I have indicated this before… Wait until late-July/mid-August before looking for an alternative, because generally many students cancel their housing contract during the summer for several reasons (ie. they decide not to attend UC Riverside, found a better housing option, etc.)</p>
<p>@DarkPrince: I went to the housing website, but I have no clue on how to check. Where do I go? haha</p>
