The order of the assignments process is this:

1. Apply to UF

2. Receive UF Housing Welcome Brochure two weeks after application to UF

3. Apply for On-Campus Housing. Your Housing Application Date is the date you submit your housing application and the $25 non-refundable housing application fee. This date establishes your “place in line” to select your room and residence hall.

4. Receive e-mail confirmation after completing application. An application is not a guarantee that you will be offered housing if admitted to UF

5. Get admitted to UF (determined by UF Admissions)

6. Receive email to complete Residence Hall Contract(s) within 1 week of UF admission

7. Complete Residence Hall Contract(s) by your due date in the housing contract email.

8. Receive email confirmation after completing contract(s). This guarantees space in campus housing for the contract period.

9. Receive email with your room selection date and detailed instructions on how to choose your room.

10. Select your room from the date specified in the email. (You can choose a roommate based on room availability.)

11. Move in on August 17th. Check the UF Housing Facebook & website for updates on Check-In.

If you just submitted your application & $25 application fee, you will be lower on the room selection list (most students started applying in early last Fall and even late Summer 2010).
Once you submit your application, you should receive an e-mail with contract information on the following Tuesday. That’s when you submit your $200 and contract. This will guarantee you a spot with on-campus housing.

If this seems too expensive, you can always choose to live off campus. But they have deposits that are usually around $1000, plus first month’s rent, and utility turn on fees all when you move in. On-campus can definitely be a lot easier and cheaper in the long run.

Hume Hall is definitely awesome. Check out all of the Living Learning Communities, so you can see what other options too. [Academic Initiatives & Enhancement – UF | Housing & Residence Education](http://www.housing.ufl.edu/aie/)
Studies show that students that live on-campus have much higher GPAs than students that live off-campus - plus you can live with students that are taking the same classes as you.
