<p>I'm in a situation where I've been academically suspended, but have nowhere else to go besides my dorm. I can't stay with my parents at this time for various reasons.</p>
<p>I didn't find out that we were allowed to submit academic suspension appeals until the deadline had already passed. </p>
<p>So if I don't figure something out, I'll be homeless. And I don't have a car because I could never afford one, which means I'll be sleeping on the streets in the middle of January. </p>
<p>My only hope at this point is to somehow stay in my dorm long enough to find a job. I was told by my university that if I didn't move my things and officially check out, they would start charging me. I can deal with that if they'll let me stay.</p>
<p>Will I be able to stay if I can find a way to pay those charges? </p>
<p>What do universities usually do in a situation like this, where an academically suspended student is trying to keep their dorm for a little while? </p>
<p>I've had trouble finding jobs in the past because I don't have a car, but I've made it my goal to find a job within 30 days. So I just need to stay for 30 more days. </p>
<p>About how long do you honestly think I can manage to stay? At least 30 more days? Less? Thanks.</p>
<p>Uh, no idea on policies for being suspended.</p>
<p>Can you find a friend to move in with for a while? A sophomore who’s got an apartment or something? If you explain the situation, maybe you can crash on someone’s couch for a bit until you find a job and something more permanent.</p>
<p>Otherwise, you should try your parents/relatives… I’m not sure what else you can do with no job and no place to live.</p>
<p>Last year I was put in almost this exact same situation. I was suspended from my school and had to leave housing as I lived on-campus. I was really afraid of going home but that was my option. I urge you to consider why going home with your parents wouldn’t be possible, I mean I don’t know what your situation is but also look into other relatives like failure622 above me said.</p>
<p>I agree that this might not be something you can do alone. It’s cold and cruel out there, and even if you do find a job (likely a minimum wage job), how is that going to support you? You’re going to move into an apartment or something while making $7.45 an hour and probably only working 29 hours/wk so that your company doesn’t have to provide you with benefits? Even if you do find a job, like, today, I don’t know if it would work out unless they somehow provided a room for you or something. </p>
<p>I agree to either crash on someone’s couch or find a relative. I don’t know your situation, but I’d rather have a family drama than a bed on a bridge somewhere. (unless it’s abusive or something. That’s different. But still, think about staying with someone other than your parents. It’s really hard to go at it alone, especially when you might not have to)</p>
<p>You have to leave the dorm.
They will throw your stuff away and still charge you everyday you do not officially checkout.
Get the paperwork done.
Pack up your stuff in boxes and ask dorm neighbors if each will keep a box for you until you can come pick them up, ask a friend to store them if they live local, you can call a cab to get them to a local address.
You will have to tell your parents the truth about being told to leave college.
Find a relative or friend that will take you in.
If you really have no place to go then look into homeless shelters.
You have to face the fact that the university will not let you stay in the dorm since you are not a student.
Telling your parents is the first step since they need to know where you are living and are safe.</p>
<p>Look on places like craigslist/facebook pages, you might be able to find a spring semester sublet on your campus. Though you would still need a job to pay the rent.</p>
