Housing Contract Appeal?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

<p>Initially, I was planning on dorming for summer B at UF but the price went up from last year's $680 to $936, which is a substantial increase. The triple is least expensive and it's still over $800! It's just completely unaffordable and I can't justify spending that much when I'd save more going straight into an apartment and it'd cover two months rent. </p>

<p>So I have two questions regarding my circumstances:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Are these sufficient grounds for them to allow me to cancel the housing contract (Subleases are substantially cheaper)</p></li>
<li><p>Has anyone successfully appealed to get their housing contract cancelled? If so what did you state or have to verify to do so?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>everything you need to know is laid out in the contract you agreed to. read it. they follow the contract to a T, and are not at all lenient about it.</p>

<p>My friend who was going to room with me for Summer B sent in an appeal, and they actually approved it. o.o </p>

<p>She said she just typed up a paragraph…(I’m assuming) of how/why she can’t afford it. So now I’m just going for a random, to experience dorm life the “old-fashioned” way lol</p>
