Is everyone at UConn this unprofessional as the housing department is? I was not offered housing after I was told countless times as long as I applied before the due date of May 22nd I’d receive guaranteed housing. Fine, they send me an email saying they couldn’t offer it but to reach back out on a different date with an update. That day comes by, radio silence. So I had to then reach out, email multiple times, and call before someone finally has the courtesy to reach back out, only to tell me it’s not likely I’ll receive housing? Keep in mind , not once do they tell you anywhere that that housing is extremely limited. What the heck am I supposed to do now? I’m an incoming freshman, I can’t afford off-campus housing. Like this is genuinely so mind-blowing, I should’ve went with UMass instead of this unprofessional ass school.🤦🤦

I’m an incoming freshman for UConn Hartford and I’m really confused about my housing situation.

I applied before the May 22 deadline. I was under the impression that freshman housing was guaranteed, especially since it’s a regional campus. I even spoke with someone from the housing office before submitting my application, and I was told that as long as I applied before the deadline I would receive priority consideration and/or guaranteed housing.

However, I just received an email saying they cannot offer me housing at the Hartford campus right now, but that space may open up over June–August.

When I check my account, there’s no room assignment or contract, so I’m not sure if I’m on a waitlist or just not getting housing at this point.

For context, commuting is not an option for me at all and I cannot do off-campus housing, so I really need on-campus housing.

If I can’t get Hartford housing, is it possible to get housing at Storrs and still attend classes at Hartford, or does it have to match my campus?
Has anyone dealt with this before? Should I just wait it out or is this usually a bad sign?

What do I even do at this point?? I’m extremely worried and overwhelmed right now.
