UT student housing; incoming first-time freshmen are prioritized. Contracts depend on available space and housing application date. [How UT offers contracts ↗](https://housing.utexas.edu/housing/residence-halls/residence-hall-application-process/future-residents). UT describes Kinsolving as an all-female hall; confirm eligibility and your assignment.

**Other charges and dates to confirm**

- Application fees, waivers and any credit from an earlier payment depend on your application.
- Confirm the bill, prepayment, payment-plan charges and any card fee before adding them.
- Exact move-in, move-out, winter-break access and any summer housing cost need your contract.
- Cancellation, early-termination and reletting charges depend on your signed contract.

Track refundable deposits separately. Credited prepayments count toward the bill. Ask UT for the total and what’s due upfront.

## Sources

Estimates use listed prices and your budget. Ask the property about unlisted fees and openings.

Time saved = the difference in one-way minutes × 2 × round trips per week × active weeks ÷ 60. Cost per hour saved uses the extra cost across the lease, including payments during weeks you are away.

Feature prices apply to the property and lease listed in each source.
