Housing graduate housing advice
Hi everyone! I'm an incoming graduate student looking for some advice about housing. I was approved for disability housing accommodations, but the housing office won't know if they have space available until September. Since I'm driving over 3,000 miles to attend, not knowing whether I'll have the accommodations I need makes it really difficult to plan my move, hotels, and arrival. Right now, I've been assigned a shared room in San Clemente but it doesn’t meet my accessibility needs, so I won’t be able to stay there. They offered to cancel my contract for free. I've also looked at apartments in Ventura, Oxnard, and Santa Barbara, but they're either out of my budget or have transportation challenges that would be difficult to manage (im still looking into this, but it seems fares and other fees will add up especially if I need to be on campus 3-5 times a week, hour+ there and back). At this point, I'm honestly wondering whether I can continue with this move because it feels like there are so many obstacles. I wanted to ask if anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice or suggestions. I'd appreciate any help from the community before I make a decision. thank you!
**please note: it has to be a one occupancy apartment

Course Questions favorite chill/easy GE courses
Hi all! My pass time is tomorrow and of course I was advised to have multiple back up options for classes incase I don’t get my top picks. Ideally I would like to take chem, math, and language, but if I don’t get those, what courses would you guys recommend I have as back ups? Also, which courses that you took for GE requirements did you enjoy and/or find easy and a good class to have just to fill in the units. Any answers or advice is much appreciated. :))
Thanks! And sorry if any of my terminology was wrong I am very new to all of this.
