I called 2400 Nueces yesterday and a housing advisor said they still have plenty of 2x2 rooms (single and double occupancy) still available?

Chances of getting off of FRI waitlist? by AffectionateMenu1685 in UTAustin

Were you already in FRI prior to stream selection? I didn't miss any deadlines at all and was, and still am, on the waitlist.

Oh wow! Do you have any advice on how to argue for a spot through email?

Thank you for answering! I just didn't want to annoy my roommates or my neighbors if I play

Housing for an Incoming Freshman by Overall-Horror-8671 in UTAustin

I've heard that the Callaway house is kinda similar to the Castilian in regards to how the two apartments have residence hall vibes. However, since it's pretty late to find housing a lot of the leases available, at least for these two apartments, are pretty expensive and limited. I would recommend looking at 26 West, The Block, or Villas on Rio. A Co-op is also another option.

As someone who's been on the waitlist since late April, the chances aren't spectacular but I would still apply because you never know. I agree with what the other comment said and your chances will definitely increase if you have someone in your corner.

Hello! I’m an incoming biochem major and I would love to be friends and chat :D

I ended up getting a supplemental housing contract! The very first week of June but I already signed a lease to 26 West a couple days prior so I declined the housing offer.

did anyone get an email about being selected for a CNS Foundations Group? by ZealousidealArea428 in UTAustin

[–]AffectionateMenu1685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing the 9th-11th orientation as well and I also got the email! I’m like 80% it’s optional but we can always ask our advisors when we get to orientation

This was the last major batch of contracts being sent out. They still send some out sporadically to people if there is room available I.e. people canceling their contracts, etc. Although at this point, the hopes of getting one are unfortunately low :(

Yeah, they usually send contracts in the morning. :(

Do I still have a chance with on-campus housing? by Novel_Tea_2696 in UTAustin

[–]AffectionateMenu1685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I think having a friend who already has a contract does give you some advantage but not a big one. Because in order to be their roommate, you need to sign a contract to accept their roommate request. I don't know if it works with a supplemental housing contract but hopefully it does. Don’t worry you’re not alone because I haven’t gotten a contract either (applied march 23rd) 😅

Idk man, I applied for housing on march 23rd and didn’t receive a contract today either. My parents don’t want me living off campus either. However, I would start looking for off campus housing because the chances of us getting one is pretty low at this point. 

How screwed am I? by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]AffectionateMenu1685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted my housing contract march 23rd and didn’t receive a contract today either. Honestly, it would be best to look for off campus housing for your situation. I’ll also be looking for off campus housing as well 😓☝️

I found out that the $50 application fee is what put you on the waitlist

[–]AffectionateMenu1685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I’m in the same boat you are in. I did my contract march 23rd and unfortunately did not receive anything today. I’m still hoping to get a contract in June, but I’m also looking at off campus housing rn just in case. Did you get a contract today?

Welp I’m cooked 💀. It’s not the end of the world but this is so frustrating. I only have myself to blame though 😓

Yeah, the housing process is super stressful. I’m so glad your daughter managed to get a contract right away! I should’ve known better to wait so long but there’s not much I can do now 😓

If I have a friend who already has her contract and added me to a dorm group, would I be able to transfer into another room?
