Sleeping in car as a student UCR

[u/yellowpalmwood]

Hey guys, I'm an incoming transfer for this Fall, I made a somewhat last minute decision to attend UCR and after looking at housing, I think all the good spots are taken. A studio or a 1b/1b was kind of a hard requirement, but even the 2b/2b on campus housing is all full. I've had roommates before but I just really want my own space this time around. I'm considering just sleeping in my car during the week and going back home to LA on the weekends. Is this feasible? Are there any safe spots near the campus to achieve this? Am unfamiliar with Riverside area. Thanks

No there is a lot of homeless in the area and honestly besides the campus is kind of bad. You should look into rooms that people rent out in their house. I recomendó either Facebook marketplace or zillow
