UVA Housing Question

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was an advantage to putting down the deposit earlier as far as getting better housing!
Thanks!!

No. They assign housing all at once because before they have final numbers they don’t know about triples.

There are some other universities that reserve the best housing for the people who put down early deposits. UVa is not one of them. UVa tries to mix everyone up, so that you will live with a cross-section of students first year…

Thank you everyone!

So I have a separate question that I CANNOT find the answer to so I’m hoping someone will give the answer here… I’ve been trying to apply for housing and I activated my UVa email today yet I still cannot access the housing app. It says it doesn’t authenticate me as an enrolled student…so how am I supposed to access the app? I realize that there is probably a VERY easy solution (maybe waiting 24 hours like it says) but I really don’t know. Can someone help, please?

I’m guessing, but maybe the housing pages are not ready yet for this year for any submittals. You can find info on the regular UVa housing website.

There is a delay in accessing the housing app after establishing the email-- unclear how long, but we had the same issue. Also try changing browser to chrome, as that cleared the problem for my student.
