Got assigned a residency building but want on-campus apartment
I'm a transfer student with more than 60 credits coming in. I applied for on-campus apartments back in January (Which I assumed would be alright since I can bypass the First Year Live-On Requirement). Then last month, I submitted a completely separate application for residency buildings as a worst-case-scenario backup cause my family suggested it.
I just got assigned U-Place and haven't heard anything about my apartment application. I already sent an email to housing but wanted to see if anyone has been in a similar situation.
A few things I'm wondering:
- Does getting assigned a residency building mean you're out of the running for apartments, or do the two applications run separately?
- Do I need to cancel/decline the residency building assignment to stay eligible for apartments, or will that just leave me with nothing?
- Was I supposed to do something more than the application for on-campus apartments? I know the off campus ones had a different site and whatnot, but I assumed the only first step for on-campus was
Any experience or insight would be greatly appreciated, I'm getting ancy while waiting to hear back from housing.
Edit: I do not want a food plan. In my 3 years at another university I barely utilized it and do not plan to do so at UND. That’s why I want an on-campus apartment rather than the listed “residency halls” regardless if they’re apartment style or not.
