<p>My friend got in for winter and she is placed on a waitlist for housing? I thought housing was guaranteed for winter admits as well. Can anyone give any input about this? will she be able to get a dorm?</p>
<p>did they mail housing stuff? because i dont remmeber getting anything. anyways, i suggest contacting h+d to double check</p>
<p>Housing is not guaranteed for winter admits, which sucks.</p>
<p>what can the winter admits do? because renting an apartment or something by themselves is pretty expensive. And how far are they usually from the campus? will transportation or food be a problem? Will they be included in the meal plan?</p>
<p>"what can the winter admits do?" </p>
<p>Sign up as early as possible on the wait list. He/She does get priority over other waitlisted students though if thats any consolation.</p>
<p>"And how far are they usually from the campus?"</p>
<p>Depends. The housing web site has some good off-campus UCSD run apartments, they can even set people up with room mates.

<p>"will transportation or food be a problem?"</p>
<p>The bus system works well and is very reliable, but time management will be a problem for some. You shouldn't NEED to bring a car, but it doesn't hurt to have one either.</p>
<p>"Will they be included in the meal plan?"</p>
<p>Meal plans are sold separately.</p>
<p>mm okay thanks a lot!</p>
