What is guaranteed for first years and new transfer students regarding housing?

• A. Two-year housing guarantee
• B. One-year housing guarantee
• C. No housing guarantee
• D. Only summer housing guarantee

Answer: (B)

First-year students and new transfer students at UCSC are provided with a one-year housing guarantee. This means that those entering the university for the first time can be assured that they will have access to housing for their first year. This guarantee helps to ensure a stable transition into university life, allowing students to focus on their studies and integration into the campus community without the added stress of securing housing.

The other choices do not apply to this situation. A two-year housing guarantee is not standard for new students, and indicating that there is no housing guarantee contradicts the actual policy in place for incoming students. Furthermore, a summer housing guarantee typically relates to students who require housing during the summer term, which is not a guarantee provided solely for first-year or new transfer students.
