<p>1) Did you already submit your SIR?</p>

On-Campus</p>
<p>1) Submitted SIR one month ago.
2) Computer Science.
3) Off-campus, hopefully somewhere in downtown Santa Cruz.</p>
<p>I was looking at off campus housing Its pretty expensive from what I have seen.</p>
<p>Lets add a third question: Where do you guys come from City, area, state? Im from Los Angeles!</p>
<p>Off-campus seems to be much cheaper than on-campus. I don’t want to pay $1500 a month to share a small room with somebody else. :x</p>
<p>I’m from the Los Angeles area as well.</p>
<p>Of campus is definitely economically viable, do you guys have a transfer orientation this summer?</p>
<p>I’m from the Bay Area. Close enough to visit family on the weekends, but too far to commute.</p>
<p>My transfer orientation is on July 22nd.</p>
<p>Every transfer’s orientation is on July 22. I’m considering off campus during my second year. The village is pretty cheap so that’s where I’m considering. Especially since I don’t really know the area or will be taking a car.</p>
<p>The Housing application for transfers is now available online! I still haven’t got the packet in the mail though…</p>
<p>Have you gotten your college choice? I wasn’t aware that we would get anything by mail!</p>
<p>I didn’t get any notification of what college I was assigned to, but I was still able to find out. On the housing application page, at the far bottom, there’s an “Appeal College assignment” button or something. I clicked on it and found out I was in college nine.</p>
<p>Also, from the housing website:</p>
<p>“In mid-May for new freshmen, and mid-June for new transfer students, the Campus Housing Office will send you a housing packet containing information about your college affiliation and instructions for completing the online housing application process. A space in university housing is guaranteed to all new undergraduate students entering in the fall quarter who submit all forms and required fees by stated deadlines. A specific college assignment or housing option is not guaranteed.”</p>
<p>It doesn’t say anything about the packet being absolutely necessary for completing the application. From what I’ve seen, the online application is fairly straightforwards anyway.</p>
<p>Thanks! That’s a pretty sneaky way of checking your college affiliation!. I got into my first choice Crown!</p>
<p>College 10 for me.</p>
<p>As transfers, is our college affiliation really that important? I know it might have some influence if we want to live in that college in the future, but is that it? Do we still have to take that core class, or is that only for freshman?</p>
<p>I think the core classes are only for freshman. Someone correct me if I am wrong!</p>
<p>How much are we looking at for cost of attendance for the whole year?</p>
<p>Anyone going to the mid-July Orientation date?</p>
