<p>And I’ll assume it’s the Lakers because you clearly said “(and no, it’s not the Clippers.)”</p>
<p>Man, I swear that wasn’t there when I made my response lol.</p>
<p>I’m a huge Vancouver Canucks fan so I’m hoping the Kings win one more game in this playoff round so I can head down there for game 6 at Staples Center next Sunday. I’ve never been a huge Lakers fan because game tickets are always <em>so</em> freakin expensive.</p>
<p>@wghiller- strategy as in things outside the actual admissions to USC, like do I make a trip up to Oregon to check the school out or not, whether I complete the housing forms and intend to register, and whether I pay those things off or not. I just want to try and play things as smart as I can and cover all my bases, but if USC were to somehow send a decision by the start of may, then hey…F Ack Oregon, I can focus all of my efforts to USC and their housing, etc.</p>
<p>@SouthOC I got into Oregon, as well. I wasn’t too impressed with their acceptance letter</p>
<p>lol, yea. Its either Arizona or Oregon, I dont know which yet. But of course, neither compared to you know where.</p>
<p>Housing seems like it’s going to be a real pain with USC. If you guys get accepted, when are you planning to move-in?</p>
<p>By the way, I went ahead and filled out and submitted the application for housing on USC’s website. Next to some of the students, it says “Room Assigned.” Example–</p>
<p>User1 (Age: 21, Room Assigned)
I am a graduate student studying…</p>
<p>User2 (Age: 24)
Request | View Profile </p>
<p>User3 (Age: 23, Room Assigned) </p>
<p>Does this mean that these people have been accepted into USC? Or just that their housing has been accepted? I don’t know why I’m asking, I doubt anyone knows the answer to this haha.</p>
<p>@wghiller: I’m fairly sure those who have rooms assigned are continuing students. Freshman housing assignments don’t start until mid-May, incoming graduates early June, and incoming tranfsers mid-June.</p>
<p>And I’m so intensely hoping that if I get in, there will still be USC housing available. I can’t afford to live off campus, and the other option would be commuting (I live about half an hour away, without traffic), which is do-able, but I really don’t want to.</p>
<p>from the housing website:</p>
<p>What are the priorities for assigning applicants?
Undergraduate upperclassmen and graduate students </p>
<p>(1) Returning university housing residents who participate in the USC Housing Renewal (UHR) program are assigned first. Within UHR, returning freshmen are assigned first and are guaranteed a space in housing for their sophomore year followed by returning upperclassmen and graduates. Participants who are not able to obtain an assignment during the UHR lottery process may go on the UHR Wait List and will be offered housing before any other undergraduate upperclassmen or graduate students. </p>
<p>(2) Transferring undergraduates and new graduate students will be assigned after housing has been offered to all those on the UHR Wait List. on a space available basis. </p>
<p>(3) Continuing, non-resident students (students currently at USC but not living in university housing or who did not participate in UHR will then be offered housing on a space available basis. </p>
<p>Freshmen
New freshmen applying for the fall semester by the May 1 deadline are guaranteed a space in university housing. Housing is set aside and reserved for freshmen in order for USC Housing to provide this guarantee.
What are the chances of getting housing?
New freshmen applying by the May 1st deadline are guaranteed a space in university housing.
If you are a returning resident, you have a very good chance of getting housing if you participate in the USC Housing Renewal (UHR) program. Since returning students are assigned first, the outlook for transferring and continuing students is dependent on the number of students assigned in UHR. Because housing for graduates and families is in very high demand only those who apply early are assigned housing.</p>
<p>does anyone remember faxing in a cover sheet with your classes (prereqs and transferable)… does anyone remember doing that:?</p>
<p>Yeah, not to be pessimistic, but it seems like I may have wasted money by applying for transfer housing.</p>
<p>Oh well. IF I get in, I assume there will be a lot of other people looking for housing as well. Maybe we can start a roommate matching thread or something after we start getting decisions.</p>
<p>luck of the draw. I Desperately want to live on-campus, even if im stuck in freshmen dorms, I really dont care.</p>
<p>@wghiller - imma be getting a studio. i prefer living alone :)</p>
<p>@wghiller- at home haha</p>
<p>South, how old are you? I really wouldn’t care if I lived in the dorms if there wasn’t so much stigma around it, haha. I’m probably one of the older ones here @ 24. Coming from North Carolina, living on-campus would be a good way to meet people.</p>
<p>@wghiller- 21. I’ll be 22 in June. </p>
<p>I dont care about the dorm stigma right now, at first I just didnt want to room with some f@g who was barely 18 and all he wanted to do was party and stuff because while Im there to have fun as much as possible, Im also there to do work, son. However, as I am realizing how limited on-campus housing is, I have become less picky I suppose. I just want that “dorm/suite” experience because I never have been able to experience that yet. </p>
<p>My main reason for living wanting to live on campus is because I feel its the fastest way to integrate into the student body and I’d experience the most that the school has to offer as fast as possible. I am not using a car when I transfer, so that would make it a ton easier as well for me. </p>
<p>The way I see it, I need to experience 4 years of USC in 2. haha.</p>
<p>Haha, I hear ya. Yea living on-campus is definitely something I would like to experience. I’m at a 4-year school right now but I live off-campus. I actually really like the school, but I feel like I miss out on a lot by commuting from 45 minutes away.</p>
<p>Yea thats what I do now, it takes 20-50 minutes (depending on traffic) to get to school everyday. I just wanna wake up 5 minutes before class, ride my bike/longboard 5 minutes to class and ride back. Im so done with driving, especially since an old lady hit me going 50mph when i was at a deadstop and totalled my car a few months back. haha.</p>
<p>Old people strike again.</p>
<p>I think about that all the time. I have to wake up an hour before I should have to. It is costing me valuable sleeping time.</p>
