I'm not really sure where to find the student fee deduction, as it wasn't mentioned in my letter. Just an intelligent guess seeing your post. Do you have any link where I can confirm it for myself ? I wasn't informed anything about listserv, I'm trying to explore the off-campus housing options with help from some senior brothers there in UCSC. I think you could use the same idea- pick some options in craiglist, or fb 'UCSC Community' and take opinions from people already there to judge the options.

Yes, Im going into the ECE program. The offer is 19800 for 3 quarters (everything else is pretty much same as you I guess.) I have accepted it. Have you accepted ? If so, could you manage a decent housing yet ?

"and the student approved fees is 364 per quarter"- what exactly is that ? I'm from Bangladesh and will be facing a similar situation like you.
