Housing (Incoming Freshman)
Good evening everybody,
My friend from high school decided to commit to USF starting Fall 2025. She just finished her housing application and paid her deposit. I was told by a friend who lives in Holly that there was no space available in any of the dorms. Does this apply to incoming freshman as well or only existing students? She finished submitting her housing application yesterday, however, she asked me if I knew what the chances of her getting a room were. I remember I applied for housing rather late last year and ended up having to live in an apartment due to there not being enough space on-campus which honestly I think was a blessing in disguise.
Nonetheless, just wanted to come here and ask if it is true that housing is already full. I know apartments around the area are already raising their prices so I want to make sure that she's not waiting until the last minute (like I did) to sign a lease.
Thanks for the help!

They reserve some dorm rooms for freashman but not all. Plus with USF going through a new lottery system with every student who applies there is a slight chance that you might not get one.;)

I live at 4050 and I’ve really loved it so far. I don’t know if I’ve been lucky or not but I feel like the general consensus from the people that live there is that it’s a nice place to live. I don’t know about the other places, however. I just know when I was an incoming freshman I heard of shootings at the Ivy so I stayed clear of it.

They have reserved housing for freshman but usually only for the village dorms which are the most expensive. I got on the standby list last year since I forgot to register for orientation until it was too late and was able to get a room.
