Housing Payments

<p>Hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone could help me with a payment question. Will the overall net payment of a quarterly plan be cheaper than the monthly plan? Does initial payment vary if you choose quarterly over monthly? </p>

<p>thanks ahead of time</p>

<p>p.s what's the difference between 14p and 19p besides extra meals? they seem to cost the same in the estimated amounts.
and can someone give me a net payment for hitch suites quarterly and monthly? thanks!</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure monthly is higher than quarterly.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that they're the same. Initial payment is different.
19P probably has higher initial payment than 14P
On</a> campus payment plans
On</a> campus housing rates</p>

<p>overall net prices are exactly the same. its just a matter of which is more convenient/better for you/your parents financially or otherwise.</p>

<p>i prefer to do it monthly since i pay with credit card, and i dont want to tie up a huge lump of credit on the card by charging several thousand at a time.</p>

<p>if you will need to use financial aid to cover housing costs, then do financial aid quarterly.</p>

<p>wait i'm confused here is vtecaddict right or is chappa right?</p>

<p>VTEC is correct.</p>

<p>is 19P more expensive than 14p because of the initial payment?</p>

<p>yes. 10 char</p>

<p>thanks VTECaddict!</p>

<p>I downloaded the "On Campus Housing Payment Plans" and it says the monthly plan (for example) one room three occupants in a Plaza is $1150 with 19P (so 8X $1150= $9200) and quarterly it's $3000 with 19P (so 3X $3000= $9000) but grark says the intial payments are different.. so the total amounts should end up the same except the sheet doesn't say....I assumed quarterly was cheaper from the sheet...</p>

<p>they all end up the same overall.
...think about it, why would UCLA offer a discount based on payment plans?
the initial payment DOES make it all even.</p>

<p>initial payments differ based on whether you're going to pay monthly or quarterly, and while i don't know what the first installment of the initial payment is (but the 2nd is available to look at), i do know that they even out in the end.</p>

<p>keep track of your initial payments, and a friend's who is on the other plan, and you'll see xD</p>

<p>Man... why can't they just charge everything to our BAR account... blahblahblah</p>

<p>oh dont even get me started on that rant...
my parents are always mad at me when i spring housing payments on them. i think i'm on top of things with tuition and everything and then inevitably i forget to check housing...
