Dear Freshman Housing Applicant:</p>
<p>We have received your housing application on-time and are currently preparing housing contracts for mailing in accordance with the preferences that students indicated on their housing applications:</p>
<ul>
<li><pre><code> For students who indicated Arroyo Vista as their first choice preference, contracts will be mailed by May 31st.
</code></pre></li>
<li><pre><code> For students who indicated the Residence Halls as their first choice preference, contracts will be mailed at the beginning of June.
</code></pre></li>
</ul>
<p>Given the high demand for freshman housing, we invite you to consider an additional housing option for incoming freshmen.</p>
<p>Campus Village is an on-campus apartment community, centrally located off of the main campus ring, near the Science Library. Traditionally a transfer and continuing student community, Campus Village may have a limited number of spaces for incoming freshmen. These spaces will be clustered together with groups of four freshmen (single gender) sharing a 2 bedroom, 1 bath furnished apartment. To obtain further information about Campus Village, please go to the Student Housing Web site at <a href="http://www.housing.uci.edu/cv/%5B/url%5D">http://www.housing.uci.edu/cv/</a>.
