How important is it to update your mailing address?

<p>Basically, I'm a suburban nomad, and me and my family move a LOT (apartment to apartment). </p>

<p>My senior year alone we made five or six major moves between two different cities. </p>

<p>Point being, what are the negative ramifications if I don't update my mailing address?</p>

<p>---Mind you, that I do stop by with the new residents of the house we use to rent (we moved in early February), and I collect mail from them. Also we've updated the post office with our new address.</p>

<p>I don't want to update my address because I KNOW that we're moving apartments again within the next month.</p>

<p>PS: Have the uc's sent out anything important via mail within the last couple of months?</p>

<p>Thx</p>

<p>Why don't you want to update it every time you move?
Just email <a href="mailto:ucinfo@ucapplication.net">ucinfo@ucapplication.net</a> with your full name, app id #, and new address. Takes less than a minute :)</p>

<p>i don't want to update it everytime because the places I'm living at are pretty sketchy, and I'm afraid my mail might get either misplaced or stolen. I've already lost a couple packages so I really don't want to risk it.</p>

<p>Maybe you should get a PO Box, or a box from the UPS store, and put that down as your permanent address?</p>

<p>^^snap! that's an excellent idea! I'll do that--thanks!</p>
