<p>For my first year, I'd really prefer to get on-campus housing. I know there is a lottery system for transfer students... Does anyone have any experience with the lottery system? Does anyone know what percentage of people who apply for the lottery actually get a space?</p>
<p>You have a very good chance. Very few people prefer on campus housing after sophomore. Manzanita and San Rafael are mainly for upper division and transfer students. They're huge so you'll get a contract.Just make sure to apply to Residence Hall and not Single Student Apartment.</p>
