<p>I'm transferring from a CC to WPU with 18 credits already transfered over, but I have 12 more coming over from this fall which would make me a sophomore when I transfer in this spring. So will I have to room with sophomores or freshmen?</p>
<p>Go to the University website…there isn’t a single set of rules that every University follows when it comes to that stuff. At my school anyone that has ever attended a post secondary institution is considered a transfer student and doesn’t dorm with the freshman. My guess for you is you won’t dorm with freshman.</p>
<p>^I dormed with a freshmen as a transfer student at my school, and I was three years older than her. At my school there appears to be no rhyme nor reason behind the roommates they put together.</p>
<p>To add to that, I strongly suggest a single or off-campus housing to avoid the possibility of rooming with a freshman as a transfer student if it a very likely possibility at your school, as it is at mine. It seems many freshmen remain in a high school mentality for much of their first year which can be extremely irritating to an older student who has to live with them. I assumed we would have a lot of the newbie stuff in common given that we were both new to university life, but the age difference was glaringly obvious in all of our interactions. If I could do it again I would have only roomed with an older student. </p>
<p>I probably wasn’t very much fun for my younger roomie either, for that matter.</p>
<p>I’m assuming William Paterson University? My brother goes there!</p>
<p>Dorms that house Freshmen through seniors:
Century Hall
Hillside Hall
Overlook
White Hall</p>
<p>Dorms that house mostly Freshmen:
High Mountain East (also houses those in Honors College)</p>
<p>Dorms that house upperclassmen:
High Mountain West
Matelson (must have at least 58 credits and are 20 years of age)</p>
<p>So anything is possible. If you try to get housing at High Mountain West, you might not be placed with a freshmen. I think in general they place you with someone who is not a freshmen since freshmen are placed together. I don’t really know how the situation is at WPU is, but I know at my school a transfer student is usually placed with a sophomore or higher.</p>
<p>I’m a junior right now and I’m dorming with a senior. It’s not bad dorming with a younger person. They might be more mature and respectful than people who are at your level or higher. Ive come across several immature upperclassmen >.<</p>
<p>WOW Thanks sooo much MushaboomBlue Could you ask which dorm he thinks is good to stay in.</p>
