Housing Contract *URGENT*

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

I am an incoming freshman at UT and I very stupidly waited to apply for housing just yesterday because I was under the impression that you could only apply once you committed to UT. My question is, what are the chances that I will receive on-campus housing? And if I do, when will I receive it? Right now, I don’t really care about where my dorm is as long as it’s on-campus. I heard some people applied late March and got their contract two weeks later, so I’m hoping that will be the same case for me? I also heard that there is a big chance that I will receive supplementary housing.

(PS I am also calling the school tomorrow to discuss options but I’d like to get a heads up)

Still a good chance you will get on-campus housing, but it might be your last choice dorm and you might not get your housing assignment until very late. Also, you could get supplemental housing where they put you in a converted study room until a dorm room becomes open sometime during the semster. But I’ve heard that supplemental housing isn’t so bad because at least you get a discount for the longer you are stuck there, and it’s a big room, but you share it with more than one roommate.
