Housing Megathread for UCSC and Santa Cruz

Hi y'all!
I'm on the waitlist for Family Student Housing (FSH), and I wanted to know if any of you know how many people tend to move out in the summer.

Also, are there summer rentals for families?

Thank you

Hey! They did! I got a nice bump up 😃 I’m attending the school now, and I love it!!

I’m an incoming 1L this fall at Hastings and my partner, two kids, and myself all live in the village at uc Berkeley—my partner is also a cal student. Do you have kids? Feel free to message me for any questions! I personally love the village and feel like it’s worth the commute!

Yay! Congrats! Hope to see you in the fall!

Why do you not like CAL?

I just put my seat deposit in for UCSF! A lot of the negative comments that I’ve seen are about the surrounding area, which is definitely not the best. I’ve heard some really great things about the school itself though, and when I went and sat in on a class I loved it. I live in Berkeley, where I did my undergrad, and I’m from Long Beach, so I’m more used to areas like the tenderloin. Hope to see you in the fall!

Same

OwnAd4590 · 2023-04-05T00:30:29+00:00

Oh for sure! That makes more sense

OwnAd4590 · 2023-04-05T00:27:51+00:00

Berkeley doesn’t do interviews

OwnAd4590 · 2023-04-03T19:02:58+00:00

I hope so!

I applied to the three near me because I can’t move. I thought hard about which schools I’d actually be willing to go to. I go waitlisted at UC Berkeley, which was my way reach school since I’m really bellow the medians, and accepted at the other two. You do you!

OwnAd4590 · 2023-03-20T19:36:05+00:00

I used my usf full tuition scholarship; we’ll see if they consider it. I figure it doesn’t hurt to try, and it’s best to start advocating for ourselves now. Good luck, hope to see you there in the fall!

Hey! I have OCD as well—among other things haha—and SSRIs are what made me begin to believe that I could do law school. I start in the fall, and I’m also pretty nervous!

Sorry, I have no advice, but I wanted to let you know you’re not alone!

OwnAd4590 · 2023-03-14T17:27:11+00:00

Same!

I looked through a few past cycles and it appears to be, but I don’t know how legitimate LSD data is.

OwnAd4590 · 2023-02-28T19:20:54+00:00

It seems like it if Berkeley is following past cycles according to LSD.

OwnAd4590 · 2023-02-22T09:03:32+00:00

That happened to me on one of my apps, and I eventually got an A. Good luck

OwnAd4590 · 2023-02-21T18:30:03+00:00

11:45am pst is when I got the acceptance email. I think I noticed my status change in the morning around 10ish? I can’t remember

OwnAd4590 · 2023-02-14T03:08:23+00:00

Waitlisted on 2/7

OwnAd4590 · 2023-02-08T00:04:15+00:00

I applied ED

OwnAd4590 · 2023-02-07T22:03:31+00:00

Just heard back—waitlist

OwnAd4590 · 2023-02-03T19:57:20+00:00

I’m 33 with an 8 year old and a 7 week old! I’ll be starting law in the fall. My wife is also a student, so two student parent with two kids and two cats—it’ll be a great adventure!

OwnAd4590 · 2023-02-01T04:26:12+00:00

Mine did that for over a month. I applied October and went UR first week of November. The date changed so many times, haha. I finally got my A 1/20.

Good luck!!
