<p>I'm in sixth and i have a triple so with the chart...</p>

<p>Residence Hall Housing rates for 2008/09</p>

<pre><code>* $10,306 Single Room
* $9,506 Double Room
* $8,756 Triple Room
</code></pre>

<p>I should pay $8756. I even paid a $650 down payment which i dunno if it subtracts from the 8756. I just saw my bill today and it says..</p>

<p>09/10/08 UG HOUSING E-CHECK PREPAYMENT -650.00<br>
09/10/08 Admin Charge +21.00
09/10/08 RH TPL QTRLY Install+Dining +3,367.00</p>

<p>why would i have to pay that much each quarter? can anyone explain this? thanks</p>

<p>yea i got a higher cost for my single..$3900-something...but i think the $650 is included with that and single was like $3300s plus the $650 payment thing add to that...i think thats the rite charge.</p>

<p>@ jh, I believe that your bill is actually correct. It's hard to explain but I'll do my best. First, go to <a href="https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentBilling/billing%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www-act.ucsd.edu/studentBilling/billing&lt;/a> and click on "Details" next to Total: $x,xxx. That will show how much more you are paying this quarter for housing. If you triple that amount (one payment per quarter) and then add in the $650 (which you already paid) it should come out to $8,756.</p>

<p>You will end up paying $650 more this quarter than each of the other two quarters for housing.</p>

<p>I THINK you have to add the $2100 (for apt, more for dorms) dining points to that.</p>

<p>I am in a triple also, and it says on the "details" page
08/20/08 RH TPL QTRLY Install+Dining 626.80 </p>

<p>plus the 21 dollars for admin charges</p>

<p>But on the "current account activity" page it says
09/10/08 RH TPL QTRLY Install+Dining 3,367.00</p>

<p>what is different between the two?</p>

<p>@oneday, you are incorrect, the dining points are included</p>

<p>@serena, The "Details" page subtracts what you have already paid and what scholarships you have received.</p>

7

<p>so our dining points are included with our housing bill right if we want the standard one?</p>

8

<p>so is the "details" page the one with the amount I have to pay every quarter for housing and nothing more? and yes, does this including dining dollars?</p>

<p>Oh yeah, when will we be required to pay for tuition and such? I know the due date is in october, but I dont knw if it will be charged through our student account. Thanks so much!!!</p>

<p>The bill (i.e. the price listed includes your housing and your dining bill so, I don't have it in front of me and can't see it because of the way I'm writing this post,but your triple room is about $8,750.00</p>

<p>so, that is $1,400 for dining dollars I believe it is(you actually get a deal financially with your dining dollars with housing where you get 3 for every 2 you buy or something like that)</p>

<p>and then the remainder (about 7,350) is housing</p>

<p>how your bill is calculated is you pay on third of the HOUSING every quarter and all you DINING first quarter so
7350/3=2450
2450+1400=3,950</p>

<p>So, my numbers may not be exactly right, I don't know like I said how much it is exactly total or how much they charge exactly for dining, but
MYSTERY SOLVED</p>

<p>and I remember this from last year it took me awhile to figure out what the hell they were doing</p>

<p>Oh, and I forgot to factor in the 650, I think that comes out of your total HOUSING costs not the dining part</p>

<p>OH I see, thanks so much for clearing this up, TTN!!!!</p>
