UCI Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

yeah I don’t mind other people as long I get privacy in my own room. My financial aid covers just about everything with the 875 floor plan so I’m hoping to keep the loans at 2k or 3k max each year

@C105213 yeah the 1500 is for the 1 bed 1 bath right? I just wanted my own BEDROOM. God forbid i blow that much just to be isolated. I’m well off but i’m not boujee hahaha. Im going for the 2 bed 2 bath and 3 bed 3 bath deluxe

does anyone know if i can bring my own mattress

@ricehappy10 yes and even if you compare the deluxe 2 bed2 bath that is 1,130 ($13,560 for the year) to a $955 floor plan ($12,360 including the parking permit $900 for three quarters) You are saving yourself $1,200. That’s why I didn’t get deluxe.

@ricehappy10 you got an offer from vdc right? I am talking about vdcn so forget what I said. Hahahaha

If I don’t reply to the email for housing is that essentially like declining if?

@UniCoIn I would say so since the email comes with a deadline

Helppp!!
UCI requested more document for residency two weeks ago, I haven’t heard back yet. Do you know how long they will give the final decision?

@fisher316 are you in the housing guarantee program? If yes then you should call the university, if no then you are probably on the waitlist and the wait could last until the leasing term starts

Hey guys, were your leases sent to your email, or to the email of the guarantor?

@ilovemydog2019 it goes both ways. 1 email for yourself to sign and 1 for your guarantor.

damn, they gave me the 955 lease. not sure what to do now.

@ilovemydog2019 take it!

I signed the lease! :’) where my low income peeps at, i’m so nervous about loans and managing money :((((

@ilovemydog2019 we out here what kind of loans were you offered?

about 8k total, with 5.5k in subsidized and 2k unsubsidized. i’m thinking i’ll need to take out about 3k if i’m lucky and manage things right before the school year starts. i just don’t want to dip too much into my savings.

@ilovemydog2019 For the subsidize loan I believe you can call and let them know you want to borrow only 2k. they can make that happen for you. Avoid getting the unsubsidized loan.
I was offered a 4K loan subsidized but I don’t think I will be able to get it after I report a scholarship I got for 3,600.

maybe you’ll be able to keep the rest of loan, if it’s worth it at that point lol. congrats on the scholarship though! i got one too but it’s only 300 dollars haha

@ilovemydog2019 I was hoping so too. I yet have to report the scholarship to financial aid office. So let’s see what happens. Thank you! ?? 300 is free money and that’s a blessing :slight_smile: I’m not doing transfer edge so I will be picking extra shift and save as much as I can before September hits.

same here! best of luck to all of us :slight_smile:
