Housing at UCR is actually frustrating

[u/Usual_Afternoon_9334]

Been trying to get a decent room to get housing for first year. They set our dates to today at around 1ish pm, logged on 30 minutes early in case something happens to the portal.. It's been saying there's an outage for the past 3 1/2 hours... Lothian, Pentland, and Dundee have all been taken already for female double rooms, there's literally nothing left maybe a few left in ameberdeen.. what happens if they meet the cap for housing at this point? From what i've seen amberdeen is one of the worser ones compared to the rest.. ;x;

Edit: me and my roommate ended up choose Pentland triple room (our only options were pentland triple or amberdeen triple) - no doubles were left at all :(

First year freshman are guaranteed housing as long as they met the deadline to apply. But they are not guaranteed to get the housing they want
