Have you heard:

"Congratulations on your acceptance to the Paul Merage School of Business at UCI.  This will be the most exciting two years of your life!" - Paul Merage School of Business Admissions Office

While at the same time hearing: 

"Congratulations on your acceptance to UCI.  There is a two year wait for on-campus housing for graduate students.  Sign here on the waiting list and we'll let you know if something becomes available for you." - UC Irvine Housing Office 

This was my experience when I was accepted to the UCI MBA program in 2000.  After the initial elation of my acceptance worn off, reality set in and I asked myself "where am I going to live?", "can I afford it?", and "where do I start?".  Having graduated from the program in 2002 and still living and working in the surrounding UCI area, my colleague Stephanie Lowe (also a Merage alumnae) and I decided to offer our assistance to the Merage students who have off-campus housing questions and needs.  We created a flyer which details out our services for admitted students.  We look forward to answering any questions that you may have about living near campus during your MBA experience and are happy to be able to give back to the Merage community in this way.
