<p>I've heard it's easier to obtain on-campus housing in the spring since many students study abroad at that time, but what about the availability of financial aid? Do schools give out the lions share of their aid to fall transfers? There doesn't seem to be much aid for transfer students as it is...sigh. What schools in the south (Va on down the east coast) and KY have decent aid for transfer students? We're VA residents and minority. Daughter looking at CNU, JMU, Elon, UK. I'm also considering having her look at College of Charleston, Furman, and Univ of SC Columbia.</p>
