<p>Hello, I am planning on attending George Washington University. I was recently accepted as a transfer student. Within the next few days I should be sending out my letter of intent. I still have a lot of questions regarding this university though. Please, if anyone can, give me some information about the topics that I am concerned with. </p>
<p>I am mainly concerned with dorms. I did not dorm at my previous college, so I am relatively new to the experience of applying for housing. How and when should I begin the process of applying for housing? I know that in some universities dorms run out, particularly for third and fourth year students. Does this occur at George Washington? If so, should I hurry with the housing application process? </p>
<p>From what I understand, the main campus is Foggy Bottom. Is there any chance that I may not be placed at that campus as a transfer student entering my junior year, and am I correct in assuming that all of my courses will take place at Foggy Bottom? Are all the third and fourth year dorms located at Foggy Bottom? </p>
<p>Assuming that I will be eligible for the third and fourth year dorms, which are the best? From my research, City Hall, Ivory Tower and 1959 E Street seem like the best ones, and I am not sure about 2135 F street which is apparently supposed to open this fall. Are we allowed to pick which residence hall we wish to live in, out of the third and forth year dorms, and if so how quickly do they run out of space? I have heard that many universities allow students to state other students with who they would prefer to dorm, but that they rarely fulfill those requests. Does George Washington University allow these requests and if so, how responsive are they towards them? </p>
<p>Those are basically my questions toward housing. I have some more information that I need and maybe someone can address this as well. </p>
<p>I was accepted into the economics major, but am interested in pursing a double major in finance. This means that I have to apply for the business school at George Washington. I am also considering applying for the Elliot School, to possible take a second major in international affairs. If anyone has any insight on how and when to apply for a second major in another school at George Washington, please share it.</p>
<p>I may have to take out some loans in order to attend George Washington University, and I was wondering if anyone has any information on the process of taking out loans. In terms of private and federal loans, does the money go directly to me, to be used on what I feel I need, or does it go straight towards the tuition bill? </p>
<p>Thank you all for any answers.</p>
