<p>So I've decided on going to UCSD and now my concern is the housing. I DO NOT want a triple. So on my preference should I put single first then the apartments second to insure I do not get placed in a triple? I would like to live in the res halls with the rest of the freshmen but if I put single will they place me in a triple just so I get placed in the res halls?
Or should I put apartment as my first choice?</p>

<p>Also, what kind of bike would you recommend? A 10-speed or a beach cruiser? When I visited I didn't see many beach cruisers, is there a specific reason for that?</p>

<p>if your’e budget for a bike is under $300, you won’t be able to go uphill for sure unless you walk it. So invest in a solid bike that will last for the 4 years.</p>

<p>Lots of girls ride beach cruisers here especially during passing periods</p>

<p>What college are you in? Some colleges don’t have triples so you may be in luck.</p>

<p>(I read on this forum Warren will no longer have triples anymore. Not sure if any other colleges changed policies.)</p>

<p>I’m going to Warren, but admit day didn’t say anything about the no triples</p>

<p>One of my res hall tour guides said if you request a single, you’re more likely to get it than not, but she didn’t seem very sincere when she said it.</p>

<p>It’s also fair to note that apartments have only doubles and triples so you definitely wouldn’t get a single there anyway.</p>

<p>I submitted my housing application 2 days after I found out about my acceptance, could i still get a single in revelle</p>

8

<p>yes, but it’s not going to based off the time you submitted the housing form</p>

<p>really? I heard those who submitted the housing app first got priority…</p>

<p>I submitted my housing app the first day I received my acceptance notice and they didn’t give me the double I wanted. I also heard from my admit day last year that most people who want singles get it though…</p>
