Hey everyone, congratz on choosing UOP! Unless you definitely hate the dorm-like atmosphere of student housing, I would definitely recommend trying to get a lottery spot. It's way way cheaper than anything you'll find in the area, and 7 blocks really isn't all that far. I walk farther than that almost everyday to get lunch. A couple things you can do to try and increase your chances to get a spot would be to find a roommate now. That way, when you both apply and put each other down, it'll double your chances. Only one of you needs to be chosen for you both to get the place. UOP will also be sending you a packet in a few weeks with our (current 1st years) experiences with finding off-campus housing, and they'll also compile a list of people looking for roommates that you can contact. Good luck!

I just want to say hi to all of my future classmates and also I have a question. When do we let the school know if we want to be considered for "on-campus" option? Did you guys call them or was there a question about it in our FinAid packet??
Thanks for any info...and congrats to all of you!

 

[Murka]

i think there is a tech problem with my reply...

I think the information about on-campus housing will be included in the packet we will recieve this month.

just got my packet...so excited

what are the chances of us getting selected for the dorms or the presidio?

 

[philicity]

i can't wait to see if i get into the dorms!

 

[Fulcrum77]

what are the chances of us getting selected for the dorms or the presidio?

At my interview, I was curious about this as well so I posed the question to Dr. Yarborough. He said that if you were single it came out to roughly a 65-70% chance of getting into the Pacific apartments. If you are married this drops down to about 30% due to the smaller number of single bedroom apartments. I'm sure these percentages vary every year based upon the number of people in the lottery. If it makes anyone feel better, I am not applying for student housing so that is one less competitor!

I'm not sure about the Presidio, but it seems like there is a lot of space out there. It is about three miles from campus, although I heard the grounds are gorgeous.
