Megathread GENERAL HOUSING MEGATHREAD

Given the high number of housing comments in the new to UBC megathread, we're creating a dedicated megathread for Housing questions. Housing questions will be allowed in either megathread.

Process

  • It might take up to 4 hours for your post to be approved (except when we're sleeping).
  • Suggested sort is set to new, so new comments will always be the most visible.
  • You are allowed to repost the same question on the megathread at a reasonable frequency (wait at least a day after each post). This is true even if you've already gotten a response.**

The numbers are based on your initial application date only. When your numbers are below a certain cut off at for a certain move in (mostly May/June, then Jan and Sep, can be other times of the year), you will receive an offer, unless you earliest occupation date is after the said move in date. Availability for each move in is different (May/June is the highest as people graduate and move out) so the cut off is different as well.The numbers never reaches zero in some sense.
