<p>On this website ( [Division</a> of Housing and Food Service - Prices](<a href=“UHD Homepage | University Housing and Dining”>UHD Homepage | University Housing and Dining) ), it shows that Whitis, San Jancinto and Duren residence halls seem to have higher prices. </p>
<p>What are special for these residence halls?</p>
<p>San Jacinto and Duren have private baths. All the other dorms have either connecting baths but most have community baths. I don’t know why Whitis is more expensive, but I think it is because Whitis is where the REsidential FIGS are housed. I think the dorms are much bigger and have more space. For some reason, I think I remember hearing they are kind of like apartment style? Something of that sort… but you have to be in a residential FIG to live in them.</p>
<p>Once you have paid the housing fee, how do you designate what Dorm preferences you want?</p>
<p>When you are accepted to the University, if you have made an application for housing and paid the $50 fee, you should be offered a housing contract by e-mail. When you accept the contract and send in the $300 housing deposit, you will be able to see your housing choices online. You have until July to state your preferences (5) for dorms.</p>
<p>For San Jacinto and Duren residence halls, what types of bath are available?</p>
<p>There are detailed explanations of housing choices for all dorms here:</p>

<p>For San Jacinto and Duren, I think only connecting (private) bathrooms are offered</p>
