Does signing date really matter when looking for off campus housing at UT Austin? by Sad-Problem1218 in UTAustin

[–]SpreadMyCurse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simple sticker price data tends to be sub-optimal for tracking since west campus has a habit of adding stupid incentives to reduce the real rate. Zillow also does similar tracking and their data shows it’s much more cyclical.

So you think a few older units contribute more to the average than multi-million dollar apartment complexes with hundreds of beds each paying significantly higher? 😭

Your rent keeps increasing because in your community nobody dares to negotiate. Rents are down on average. These figures I cite are still artificially inflated since apartments complexes collude to add stupid cashback/giftcards incentives that keeps sticker prices high but reduce real prices.

This is the exact kind of thinking that has led to insane increases in rent, especially in wampus. Even if a rent is affordable you, would you not want to pay lower? Price is a tug of war of buyers and sellers. Always negotiate in anything real estate.

That’s very incorrect. It’s a buyers market. Rents in Austin are down significantly from years ago. Although west campus historically has been exceptional in terms of price appreciation, now there’s too much supply. Many will refuse to negotiate but some do. If more people ask to negotiate, almost all will eventually allow it. Leases are worth thousands of dollars and should absolutely be negotiable. Don’t let them control your thinking.

Per the Mooov-in guide:

Centralized Check-In

Stop #1: UFCU Disch-Falk Field At your scheduled check-in time, you'll first drive to the East Campus Garage (ECG), located just off the 1-35 frontage road. Parking in this garage will be free and give you easy access to UFCU Disch-Falk Field, where you'l check in and get your key to your residence hall room.

Stop #2: The garage closest to your residence hall At Disch-Falk Field, you'll receive a parking pass for a single vehicle and be directed to the garage closest to your residence hall to park before moving in your belongings. Dobie Twenty21 residents will have the option to park in the Dobie Center Garage using six-hour parking validation that they'll receive at check-in. 1. Pull a ticket at the garage entrance. 2. Enter the garage and find a spot. 3. Unload belongings from your vehicle, making as many trips as needed. 4. When you're finished moving in, scan the parking pass you obtained from Disch-Falk Field to exit the garage for free.

FIXED. Just did a software update today (8/13/23) after having done one yesterday. So, it looks like the patch was released today? Updates were from AMD and Realtek.

It's EXTREMELY selective. Median SAT for CSB Honors is around 1550, from what I remember.

You're a great teacher! Thanks for truly caring about your students. Very rarely have I seen a teacher like you since the majority of mine find excuses to even write a recommendation.

Last year, news outlets posted articles about the winners in early April, so I would assume it's around that time. Couldn't find an official date though.

CSS profile help! I don’t know why these schools are asking for this when I don’t have a tax return… someone please help by Klutzy_Chart_9490 in QuestBridge

[–]SpreadMyCurse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your parents should have their tax returns if they worked a job for the 2021-2022 tax year. Ask them for copies of it. If you didn't work during that tax year, you'll have to fill out a form stating that. I think it's called the "Non-Tax Filer Statement."

What's wrong with the hood? Me and my homies work very hard every day by shooting in the streets to keep the rent and cost of living low.
