Long story short, I got waitlisted for the housing application because my e-check got returned, and then again two more times before I finally gave up and sent it in the mail. However, now I have no idea if I’m going to get a room and board in student housing. What can/should I do? I already contacted Student Housing and they said there was nothing they could do, and there is no way of telling me the probability of me the likelihood of getting off the waitlist. I’m a freshman and 17 if it helps. I’m assuming my only option would be to find a place to rent near UCD, but even then I have no idea where to begin. Any advice would be welcomed, thanks for the help
South Davis. Go to the Davis Facebook page. Also, check out wikidavis: https://localwiki.org/davis/Apartments
At the housing office, ask for the roommate page.
You might want to try the West Village. They usually have openings since they tend to be expensive. They charge by the bed and offer roommate matching services.
FYI: I also had issues with E-check for housing but at SDSU. They recommended I use a credit card instead due to past problems with E-check.
there is a subreddit dedicated to helping people find a place to rent near UC Davis. Also, you could check out craigslist, as long as you give a good effort to find a place you should be fine and be able to find something. Good luck man, hope to see you this fall.
