Parents of UConn students are speaking out after their children were waitlisted for on-campus housing, despite being promised guaranteed housing for all four years. The issue arose when upper division students, including rising juniors, were notified that they did not meet the criteria for on-campus housing. Some parents were shocked as their students had met all the requirements, including maintaining good grades and submitting applications on time.
In response, UConn cited increased demand for on-campus housing and stated that not all students who applied would be guaranteed housing. The university also mentioned off-campus housing developments in the works to help alleviate the issue. However, parents expressed concerns about the financial burden of off-campus living, including rent, utilities, and transportation.
Parents are calling on UConn to honor their initial promise of housing for all four years and are urging the university to rectify the situation. They believe that UConn should stand by their word and provide deserving students with the housing they were guaranteed.
