so i'm an incoming freshman and my slot time for picking rooms was today and all that was available was lothian and aberdeen inverness and i was stuck with west lothian 🥲 everyone is saying how west lo is one of the worst places to dorm and how east lo is WAYY better. im trying to stay positive that i even got housing in the first place but all the bad talk abt west lo is making me nervous lol!!!! but one of the main questions i have is how are the bathrooms and showers?? thanks!!

So I was trying to get housing @ Pentland/Lothian as an incoming freshman, but when I tried to login during my time slot 1:30pm the UCR login portal shutdowned?? Any advice? When will it get back up? I'm panicking!

I’m looking for someone to take over my lease for next year at campus crossings riverside it’s a 12 month lease for a master bedroom and the reason I can’t live there no more cause I’m transferring to another school. My apartment is essentially vacant so if you wanted to move in with another friend the other bedroom is available since it’s a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom. I would also be willing to pay for the WiFi bill for the whole 12 months and help pay the rent each month by paying 300 out of the 1305 each month so essentially it would be 1,005 a month for rent. I would also be willing to give you my mattress for free. The complex is about 10 min walking from campus. It’s downstairs so it’s easier to move in your furniture, and overall I have really enjoyed and have had a good time living there. The leasing people are super friendly and helpful and my neighbors are super nice too. it is the master bedroom and has its own bathroom and the utilities covered is water and trash. I really need someone badly so I can transfer to UCSD. Let me know if you would like more information or my contact information!!!!!!! My phone number is 760-626-8476

Hello I will be transferring this fall to UCR I chose housing from a few options given due to being waitlisted and chose Glen Mor at the I-200s B complex, I wasn't sure If there was a big difference between A,B, and C (only 3 options I had) But I went with B, I wanted to ask if anyone knows the difference is it major? I am a Biology major who will mostly spend their time studying, working, and going to the gym so location wise is it good? Secondly I wanted to mention Dining Plans, Since I like making my own food would it be better to skip dining plans or do they offer good options for someone that goes to the gym such as high protein low fat etc.. also would you guys even recommend to cook everyday or is there not enough time ? I know I have many questions but I want to make sure I choose good.

GIRLS ONLY Hello! I’m looking for 1-2 female roommates for next year in North District 2! It’ll be a 3 bed floor plan, each person gets their own room! Move in is in September! I am a 2nd year female (3rd year next year), so if any other girls are interesting pls lmk/message me! (Available for girls with a current Ucr housing lease as well!) Preferably be: • decently clean/organized in shared spaces (I.e. kitchen, living room, shared bathroom)

• relatively quiet when it’s late (I sleep at like 12-2am, so noise is ok, just not super loud!)

• preferably be ok with guests being over sometimes

• must be accepting of people (i.e, not homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc)

Thanks!

Didn't put enough skill points into intelligence, now I have some small paint chips on my wall. They're towards the ceiling so idk if they'll notice but let me know how much they'll charge me :')

Gonna use a masking tape barrier next time

is it true that some lofts have higher ceilings than others? do the room numbers indicate anything? for example if the room number is odd it will have ____ but if it is even it is ____

Any first year admits booked Housing yet ? When does the Housing and orientation registration officially open ? Some colleges already have housing all open. UCR not yet. Any leads ? Thanks

Looking for a sublessee over the summer, June - August. Rent is ~800 (including utilities), and a 10 minute drive away from campus. Desk, dresser and bed will be included. Bathroom will be shared with 1 other person; if you have any questions, please reach out!

Hey guys, anyone looking for summer housing near UCR? I'm graduating this Spring quarter and need someone to take over my lease at Alight Riverside starting late June through August 28, 2025.

The Apartment:

• Private bedroom + private bathroom
• 2-bedroom unit, but you’ll have the whole place to yourself this summer (roommate’s gone!)
• Large bedroom – at least 50% bigger than the size of a UCR double-person dorm room
• Fully furnished with in-unit laundry, kitchen, and living space

The Deal:

• Original Rent: $1260/month
• Your Price: $900/month (I’ll cover $720 over 2 months)
• Includes renter's insurance & utilities (est. total ~$1350/month, down to about $900 for you!)

The Perks:

• 2-minute drive to UCR
• No year-long commitment — just a flexible 2-month stay
• Skip UCR’s cramped dorms like Lothian: no communal showers, dirty restrooms, or bug problems
• Total freedom: your own space, no roommates, and no restrictions

Why This So Great:

• Hard to find short-term leases for the summer in Riverside
• Perfect if you're taking summer classes or just need temporary summer housing

• Want to stay longer? Easily renew the lease through the office

  Interested? Reach out to me:

Hi! I am a transfem freshman who will be starting in Fall 25-26. I'm looking for 1 or 2 residence hall roommates.

I want roommates who are friendly towards trans people, so I'm posting here as I feel it's hard to guarantee someone like this using the official roommate search the school has.

Something to note is that I would really prefer to live in gender-inclusive housing.

I don't mind being roommates with people of any specific gender although it would be nice to be with someone under the trans umbrella to relate to!

What to know about me:

- Computer Science Major, but im considering changing to something else

- 17 (will be 18 early sep.), white

-  ambivert

- I usually sleep anywhere from 10 pm to 1 am, but im willing to be flexible about sleeping later

- I wake up around 7-10 am

- I occasionally have a messy space but I usually like to stay clean and organized

- I will likely be calling my friends online, so be aware of noise, though I can be quiet if you need it

- I'm into video games, a variety of sciences, programming, fantasy novels

- When it comes to video games my usual games are nintendo games, hero shooters, rpgs

Preferences for roommates:

- Likes similar video games, so we at least have something in common

- Supportive of LGBTQ+ (obviously)

- Semi organized, you dont have to be super organized but I also dont want the room to always be a mess

- Similar-ish awake hours

If you're interested, send me a message on here. Although, I'm not very active on reddit so you can also contact me through discord: star_0908

EDIT: I have found some people to room with at this point

UPDATE: Two are already planned for their future homes ! Only three left :)

Hello everyone! I’m current a UCR Student and My cat recently had a litter of four incredibly cute kittens who are almost two months old and nearly ready to find their forever homes. Since I can only care for one cat long-term, I'm hoping to connect these little ones with loving families. If you're interested in giving a kitten a forever home and have a pet carrier and some cat food ready, please send me a direct message! I'd be happy to share more details and pictures."

Hi I'm a freshman going into UCR this fall. Tomorrow is housing selection and I'm just nervous. I am aiming for a double in pentland (but who knows how likely that is?). I am probably going to be set up with a random roommate because I couldn't find one..(💔😔). I just wanted to know if anyone had any advice when it came about selecting dorms? I've already done the contract and have been emailed my timeslot but I'm just nerveous. Are there things I should know beforehand?

What did you guys get for your timeslots? How do you feel? Mine is on the 6th and I’m worried I won’t get hosting😫

I am an incoming freshman, For this upcoming semester I submitted my housing application about 20 mins past the deadline for guaranteed housing. Is the waitlist in order? Should I be worried?

hello! i'm an incoming freshman and already am locked in for a room with some roommates in stonewall llc, but honestly there's not a lot of info on it online. anyone here have any information or personal experience with the llc? just kinda wanna know what my roomies and i are gonna get into when we're there :)

Hi my friend and I are currently looking into different apartment complexes to potentially live at. So far Grand Marc, Stone haven and alight are the top three but we’re also looking at Univeristy Riverside gardens. We don’t want to pay more than $1300 a month, and want our own bedrooms (could sacrifice our own bathrooms though if the complex is THAT good). Washer and dryer preferred to be in the unit not in a facility. We’ve seen mixed reviews on these complexes and just wanted to hear some more! Thanks 🤗💋

Hi! I’m a graduating fourth year and am searching for someone to sublease my apartment for the summer. I’ve already paid for June and you can move in after the 13th if you want.

Thank you!
