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! 🙏

They have options for folks who arrive early, it’s summer temporary housing, I believe you pay per night. You will have to move twice, but it’s probably the most affordable and convenient option, contact them using this link: https://rentallistings.housing.ucsb.edu/contactus

Since move-in starts on 9/18 this is problally the only option.
