<p>When I enter college, I will be a sophomore because of summer school, AP, etc.
A college I may go to requires first and second year students to live in residence halls, however they come in two categories: freshmen and sophmores. Will I have a place to live junior year, when I'm required to live in the residence halls that don't have a spot for me.</p>
<p>I mean, is this a question for that particular school?</p>
<p>It’s a question for that specific school but generally campus has enough housing for everyone… And even better, specialized housing for upperclassmen. For one of my schools, they classified first year as your first year there even if you were a transfer and had enough to be a junior. It’s probably a school-by-school basis or you could maybe argue your case for better housing.</p>
<p>It really depends on the school. My university guarantees 2 years of housing and after that there is a lottery. (This is also a big school in a big city.) After that, you may want to move off campus because it is often cheaper and dining hall food can get kind of old after 2 years.
But I agree - this is a good question to ask the uni directly.</p>
<p>Agree that you should always check with your specific school.</p>
<p>But at my school, we tended to think of students in terms of what “year” they were (first, second, etc), rather than whether they were freshmen or sophomore. Many students came in with tons of AP/community college credit that made them have “sophomore standing” even though they were technically first years. It was incredibly common, and asking someone if they were a freshmen or a sophomore was pretty meaningless. So if my school had required first and second years to live on campus (hypothetically speaking), they probably would have been your first and second year attending the university, regardless of what “standing” you may have unit-wise.</p>
<p>You’re school may be different though, so it’s important that you check on that.</p>
<p>This is late but everyone else is right. Check with your school to make sure.</p>
<p>When I go to college next year I’ll have enough credits to be a sophomore but my school has made a deal to the schools here in my state. Anyone in my high school who reaches that many credits will still be treated as a freshman regardless of the number of credits.</p>
