<p>I am currently a student here, and I did not get on-campus housing for next year. I heard that this also happened to a lot of other current 1st years here. So for all the other current first years, I was just wondering:</p>
<p>Did you apply for on-campus housing?
Did you get it? If not, what did you decide to do instead?
Any rants about the on-campus housing system?</p>
<p>I'm just curious to hear what others' opinions on this matter are.</p>
<p>I think ucsb only guarentees housing for your 1st year and if there's space, they allow others to stay on campus. So I guess after all the first years occupy space, the remaining free spaces are for others. Did you apply already?</p>
<p>I didn't want housing oncampus, it's soooo much more expensive than Isla Vista. And to deal with the cafeteria food again, omg. </p>
<p>I'm living in IV next year and couldn't be happier with the new house :D.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many on-campus dorm spots are available for non-freshman students and how many apply for those spaces? Also, which part of IV is closest to campus and is on the quiet side?</p>
