<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I’m an incoming UCI transfer student and I just have a couple questions. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>What’s the best way to look for students who are looking for potential roommates? I wanna say Craigslist.com but it’s kinda sketchy. </p></li>
<li><p>When I log into UCI, it says my records are put on hold cause I’m a transfer. How do I get rid of that hold? </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>While I’m not a UCI student, I have been to events on the UCI campus many times before as an Irvine resident, and I usually see various fliers up on the walls all over campus from students looking for potential roommates. You could also check out the [UCI</a> Housing’s Facebook page](<a href=“Facebook”>UCI Housing).</p>
<p>They put a hold on your record until you complete your mandatory academic advising. Once you attend your scheduled session the hold is removed and you can register into classes.</p>
<p>I’m looking for roomates too at UCI. Are you clean?

<p>Sweet thanks guys. </p>
<p>Berdson: Yea I’m pretty clean. Have you found a room yet?</p>
<p>My standards are pretty low-I meant sober. </p>
<p>Not yet-I’ve grouped around some prospects and I’m not signing a lease till I’ve found some dependable roommates. </p>
<p>Do I seem any less sketchy? The internet is the internet.</p>
<p>As for sobriety, I’m pretty clean. No drugs or alcohol. </p>
<p>How much are you willing to shell out for rent monthly?</p>
<p>First answer my question, Mr. Scottieboii.</p>
<p>I mean I’ve got to know you better than this to consider you.
Tell me a bit about yourself.
1-750 w/utills.</p>
<p>This website has more credibility that Craigslist so I’d hope you’d be less sketchy.</p>
<p>I’m a 20 year old incoming public health science transfer from Palm Springs, CA.</p>
<p>I’m a 18 year old incoming psych/neurobio transfer from the bay area. </p>
<p>Do you really think that’s sufficient info to move in with me for year? If so, you’re raising red flags.</p>
<p>Well what is it exactly that you want to know about me? I’m not about to write an entire autobiography on here</p>
<p>Naw, it’s just you don’t appear to fear the possibility I’m crazy, which makes me think you’re crazy. I’m trying to be careful here-I’ve learned from experience.
Are we gonna be buds or just some dudes who split rent?
First apartment? Hobbies? Future? Looking for a 1 bed/1 bath or bigger? more roommates to pay?
Questions for me?</p>
<p>Haha good point. I kinda figured that since I don’t know anyone at UCI I’d end up rooming with complete strangers anyway so what’s the point of being picky you know. But since you asked I really have no problem getting along with people. </p>
<p>Yes, this is going to be my apartment. Having my own room would be great but if its over my budget ($400-700) I don’t mind sharing rooms. </p>
<p>As for my hobbies, I’m really into water sports and I plan to join crew this year. And I’m minoring in music too. </p>
<p>After college, it’s more school for me in med school. </p>
<p>Now tell me about yourself</p>
<p>So far so good. This looks promising. </p>
<p>Went to community college at 16-skipped 5 grades/took time off. Plan on med school too-why are you? What instrument(s) you play? I’m super big on jamming. </p>
<p>Did you go to orientation yet? Maybe we could meet up then?</p>
<p>That’s sweet dude I plan on going to med school cause it’s what I’ve always wanted to do. </p>
<p>I think the last day of orientation for transfers was yesterday though</p>
<p>naw, I meant that admission counseling thing. what instrument?</p>
<p>I’m scheduled to see a counselor this Monday. </p>
<p>I play the piano. What do you play?</p>
<p>I’m talking about that academic advising thing that puts a hold on your registration. I’m heading down on the 20th. </p>
<p>I major on keys. I plan on bringing a synth, a uke, and 2 electric guitars with me + an amp/phones.</p>
<p>I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume you’re classically trained.</p>
<p>Yea that’s what I’m talking about. Mines scheduled for this coming Monday </p>
<p>Yeah I’m classically trained but I’ve also played the keys in bands throughout highschool. Dude I play the uke too!</p>
