Given a plaza but can't afford it?

<p>So I was put in De Neve Plaza but I don't have the money to stay there.. I was going to stay at a residential hall but I guess I didn't get put in there? wth? What do I do?</p>

<p>Submit a CAR for a res hall.</p>

<p>But I thought you can’t do that until after the school year begins? Would I still have to pay the price of the plaza if I accept the offer now and change to a res hall later? I’m so confused …</p>

<p>Okay never mind I didn’t know you can submit the CAR before school begins. Does anyone know the chances of switching from a plaza to a residential hall? Do many people do it?</p>

<p>Is the difference in price really that great? The gap between in price (I think if I read the charts correctly) is <$1500. I’m not saying that that’s not money but it’s certainly not a lot relative to the university tuition or the housing fees.</p>

<p>If you do an open transfer after school begins, the price does change IIRC.</p>

<p>Well it’s actually about a $3000 difference in price … It might not seem that much compared to the large amount in tuition and such but I’m trying to minimize my cost of attending as much as I can considering that I’m struggling to pay as it is. I understand what you’re getting at, but I’m just trying to save as much money as I can haha.</p>

<p>Oh okay thanks.</p>
