<p>That’s cool if they’re starting to offer two year guarantees for transfers. I always thought that all UCs at minimum should offer at least one year guarantees since finding housing off campus can be difficult especially if you have to travel any distance to get to the area. Are you a regents scholar or EOP at all? I think there may be special exceptions in those cases, but I’m not positive.</p>
<p>Also, I’m a bit paranoid so I’d be inclined to make sure I had that guarantee in writing XD. I wonder, though… maybe UCSD is experiencing the same thing UCSC is with lack of people living on campus? I know UCSD is cheaper housing wise than UCSC, but it’s still cheaper to live off campus and with year round housing rather than on campus with only a 9 month contract and more regulations on when you can be there during breaks. Either way, I’m glad to hear you’re being told you will have housing available :)</p>
<p>I’m curious now, though… Are you meaning “transfer only” housing? As in, no continuing students, only those who transferred in? There are themes for such, but you can end up with anybody. I’m in a hall with mostly frosh myself since the dorms were where I ended up being placed (I didn’t care where as long as I was on campus and in a single room). All housing pretty much looks the same depending which type you choose (dorms, apartments, etc). If I was positive I’d get a single room and didn’t have 8am classes 90% of the time, I’d go for University Inn simply because I’d get my own private bathroom.</p>
<p>Have fun at Spring Spotlight! Even though you’re not planning on UCSC, nothing wrong with a visit to such a beautiful forest 
And I’ll shut up before I further derail this thread XD</p>
