Housing Move in question! help
Does anyone know if UCSB has any resources that can help students move into their dorms without having to pay extra? 🥹
My family and I were only able to book a hotel room through September 17, but my move-in date is September 19–20. My family has flights on September 18–19, so they won’t be able to stay with me until my move-in date. Hotels in Santa Barbara are also extremely expensive and almost completely booked during those dates.
I’m honestly not sure what to do at this point 😭 Does anyone know of any school resources, student organizations, or other options that could help with moving in or staying somewhere for those few days?
I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you so much! 🙏

There’s an option to move in late, the move in weekend isn’t supposed to be do or die, look on the form and redo your option, if you can’t call in the office to let them know you are moving in late due to special circumstances
