Housing and Meals: Financial Aid

Does anyone know what meal plan and dorm UCSB is using to calculate my estimated cost of attendance?

UCSB reports a different estimated cost of attendance depending on reported conditions.

Assuming you’re living in one of the university residence halls, the closest matching option for the estimated room and board cost is a standard double room with the 10 meals plan selected.

(The reported room and board cost differs by ~385 for the 2014-2015 school year, for a double w/ 10 meals. As it happens, that is the closest match, so it is safe to say it IS indeed the double room w/ 10 meals.)
