@Ohm888 wow, that’s nice of them, didn’t know that.
We will really have to get a jump on researching and sending housing applications after getting these late decisions…
if you don’t know the area and are living off campus, I’m happy to answer any questions I can.
UCSD guarantees transfer housing
UCSD has the best transfer dorms. They actually have kitchens
Yes - I’d love to live off campus but close enough to bike in every morning. Any apartments right around the school that are somewhat affordable?
@kristinpete sadly La Jolla is a very expensive neighborhood. My friend that goes pays $1100 a month for a room in a three bedroom apartment
@kristinpete Honestly you would be better doing on campus housing if you want to be that close. La Jolla is NOT a cheap area. There are affordable areas like 15-20 minute drive away from campus, but I think you might struggle to be that close to campus and keep it reasonable.
Figured as much… I mean, I’m ok with working a little and using some loan money to pay for off campus housing but there obviously has to be a limit. I just hear the parking situation is horrible and would rather not deal with driving in.
should we expect anything from ucsd today
@jbravomed No. UCD and UCB are coming out now so I doubt they’d release today as well.
Since the biking options narrows down the area, I would say search from something just east of the 5, maybe near the Mall. Still gonna be a bit pricey, oh I just remembered I was looking at renting in the area a couple years ago and saw some options that weren’t outrageous on Gilman drive, south of La Jolla village drive . They are just down the hill from Campus, west of the 5. I don’t remember the pricing but I do remember them being cheaper compared to others in the area.
@kristinpete ahhh this wait is killing me, think I have seen your posts over on the UCI forum as well.
@jbravomed Yes! UCI has had me so anxious for some reason! It’s funny because a week ago I was saying I hope UCI rejects me so that my decision will be easier and I will have no regrets…
And then here I am frustrated about a likely rejection from them lol.
Yes, the wait is horrible. I want to just know so I can go back to studying.
Come on UCSD… At least release the decisions before UCLA
USCD needs to hurry up
The bus situation is also good in the lajolla area! Don’t quote me, but a few of my friends who go there told me that a bus pass is included in tuition. So that is an option which allows you to possibly live a little farther out.
I wish they would release today. I’m reaching a breaking point with the anxiety of waiting for every schools individual decision.
Everyone go listen to Bob Marley -Three Little Birds. Makes all the difference
@kristinpete Yes I know the feeling I’m staying optimistic about getting accepted, my GPA isnt the strongest however I want to say that my essays were strong, non traditional student, 25 yrs old, served in the Navy, etc. I have been checking the portals every 30 mins meanwhile studying for exams as well lol.
I hope we get decisions soon. The waiting game is horrible.
