<p>As a probable incoming freshman, Id like to know how late singles in private housing are available. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any replies.</p>
<p>it fills fast, and they start taking reservations on january 7, obviously for early applicants. since the deadline for accepting admission is may 1 for everyone, and regular applicants are notified by april 15, the housing wont be available after may and will fill quickly especially after the regular admission acceptance period</p>
<p>does anyone know if on-campus residency is required for people living in Champaign who will continue to live with parents?</p>
<p>A single in private housing would be nearly impossible. I know that even returning sophomores have difficulty getting singles given that they're usually taken by upperclassmen. As an incoming freshman, you'd probably end up in a suite, but I guess it depends on which private housing you're referring to. IT? Bromley? Hendricks House?</p>
<p>Regular Applicants are notified on February 15th, not April 15th as stated above.</p>

<p>The rule that freshman must stay in dorms or private certified housing is inapplicable to area residents staying at home.</p>
<p>As to singles, those are difficult for freshman to get in the private housing even if applying early. However, you should consider potentially applying for a single in private housing, if that is what you want, and waitlist if you cannot get it and then also apply for an alternative elsewhere such as a UIUC dorm. The reason: about July to early August there are usually a number of cancellations that occur at the privates and they then make offers in the order you are on the waitlist so that gives you some chance of landing a single. Note also you will not be stuck with both housing contracts if that happens as agreement between UIUC and private certifieds is that each will cancel a housing contract for any student who switches to the other before classes begin.</p>
<p>Is it possible to apply for single housing in multiple places with the same cancellation agreement? </p>
<p>As for which houses, presumably Armory, Bromley, Hendrick, or Presby, as that one also appears to have some individual bedrooms. See if I can get into one of the four.</p>
<p>A single is a lot to ask for, true, but Ill see what I can get. How likely am I to get some sort of apartment assignment in private housing (preferably double otherwise)?</p>
<p>about being from champaign, yes it is required to live in a dorm of some type for ur freshmen year but there is always a loophole somewhere, look at Jefferey Jordan....
if you talk to the housing department directly i'm sure they can work something out. talk about financial reasons, etc. however i would recommend living in a dorm so you can start making friends.</p>
<p>Hendrick House had alot of singles last semester. Was pretty surprised.</p>
