@thumper1 @Sybylla I loved my dorm experience and would love for the opportunity to dorm again… BUT at UCI, only first-years are allowed to dorm. Most second years live off-campus or opt for another on-campus alternative where they live at UCI (ACC) apartments that are usually further from campus (and not literally on-campus like the dorms) and require shuttling to school from. The housing costs of these UCI apartments are usually $670+ and the shuttling factor is inconvenient.
I will fix my aid package, but I know that if I do… my dad will most likely be angered…
The purpose behind this post was to ask for possible suggestions as to how I can convince my dad otherwise regarding my housing situation.
