<p>and then I see this</p>
<p>To complete your Arroyo Vista Housing application, write a personal essay which includes:</p>
<ol>
<li>Your reason for applying to the theme houses of your choice.</li>
<li>How you would positively contribute to both the house and the community.</li>
<li>List any extra-curricular activities/leadership roles in which you have been most active at UCI.</li>
</ol>
<p>really? an essay? Being accepted and paying them isn't enough?</p>
<p>those properties are VERY nice you probably don’t need to put down anything if you don’t want to but i’m sure they try and match up people that are like each other. So personalities don’t clash</p>
<p>Regardless you are guaranteed housing for a year so it’s shouldn’t be an issue however if you want to continue living in there it’ll probably help down the line .</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. I opted for the Transfer house. Do you know anything about it? What is the best theme for a psychology major?</p>
<p>for fafsa, did you guys put on-campus housing? if so, are they gonna give us the same amount of money that is listed on my financial aid package or lower it? since arroyo vista is a lot cheaper?</p>
