Hey guys,

I have recently been accepted at UCSB and am most likely going there w/ Computer Engineering as my major and am very excited to go there! I plan on sending out my SIR this weekend. I have been looking up lots of info on UCSB and was looking at Housing info and had a few questions I was hoping you guys could answer.


I am more of a… quiet person and would prefer living by myself in a 1 occupant dorm… which hall would you guys recommend? Are 1 occupant dorms very competitive and if so should I apply ASAP like this Saturday or wait until Spring Insight day?
When should we apply for housing? ASAP… this Saturday when I send my SIR? Or should I wait until I go to the Spring Insight day and decide then?
If I choose to apply to “regular” housing (is it usually double occupancy?) and end up not liking who I am roomed with is it easy/possible to request a change/transfer?
What is the difference in price between single occupancy and “regular” housing?


Thanks!
