How is northside?
Despite living over an hour and a half away, UTD has still left me on the waitlist for housing. I really REALLY need housing, and can not feasibly commute to the school. The only way i would be able to attend UTD is IF I DORM, as my parents would be willing to pay using the college fund they set up for me, but because UTD has not given me my dorm, I am forced to look for apartments, all of which are outside of my budget. Id have to cover my own rent if I were to rent an apartment, so I was wondering if Northside was affordable, and a good option? Also, what kind of lease is it? This would be my first apartment, and I’m pretty much going in blind. I make 9 dollars an hour at my current job, so I’m pretty much only able to afford their cheapest option. Is it yearly, or does the lease center around semesters/the academic year? I honestly know nothing about apartments and really need some help deciding if this is the best option for me or if i should just unenroll, since I can’t feasibly commute and there is a very low chance that this school will take me off their housing waitlist. If you can not tell im very stressed out and very frustrated by this situation … and really need guidance. Im genuinely fighting back stress-tears writing this
EDIT 1: i already emailed housing, to which they effectively replied “too bad so sad”
Also, even if i were too chose northsides cheapest option, i still wouldnt be able to afford it along with gas, and groceries and textbooks and everything else that comes with being a student. I calculated how much i make on average monthly and compared it to how much rent would cost and i dont even come close.
EDIT 2: Im considering emailing housing a second time and (professionally) begging for any accommodation whatsoever, but I’m afraid theyll take me explaining my situation to them as an admission that I want to withdraw my enrollment and they will unenroll me, which is the last thing I want. I can NOT attend their university without housing bus I also do NOT want to be unenrolled… what do i even do….
