Hello everyone!!
I figured… the earlier we start this discussion, the better.
While this thread serves to cover all topics related to transferring to UCR in Winter, I’m specifically curious about the housing situation. UCR does not guarantee housing and can only accept on-campus housing applications from admitted students (which will be released on a rolling basis sometime around November 17).
Does anyone have good contingency options?
Though I’m not applying to UCR, I do recommend that you fill out the housing application early, if possible. You don’t want to be scrambling about trying to fill out a form while spots quickly fill up!
Suppose you’re not able to secure housing during that quarter. You should look at UCR off-campus housing resources:

On the topic of off-campus housing, make sure you talk to other admitted students who don’t have on-campus housing. Rooming with someone may be the best choice. Since Cali apartment pricing is screwed up, I’d dedicate a Saturday or Sunday looking for places (with your potential roommates!)
