<p>Anyone what percent of people that are wait listed get housing? </p>
<p>Although it’s much more expensive than living off-campus, I want to live on-campus my first year (to get acquainted with campus, city etc). UCSD is my top choice, but it’d be terrible to get in and then not get housing.</p>
<p>How hard is it to get a single? I’d love to live on campus my first year for that college experience, but would like to have a room to myself.</p>
<p>Don’t forget that any student/transfers can apply for international housing as well. I believe the international housing is located at ERC and it looks fairly nice… Anyways I made a thread similar to this here you go…<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-san-diego/1036867-ucsd-transfer-dorm-question.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-san-diego/1036867-ucsd-transfer-dorm-question.html</a></p>
<p>SDhopeful: It is very hard to get a single. About 90% of people want them and maybe 5% actually get them. Usually you need to have or make up some medical issue to get in. For example: being allergic to all nuts, asthma, etc. (true story)</p>
<p>I’d love a single, but I wouldn’t lie to get one.</p>
<p>Is it possible to try to get a single and then if they give me a double, decline, and look off-campus?</p>
<p>Umm. I don’t think so. I think you pay a standard fee (which goes towards the first month’s rent) and then you do room selection.</p>
