<p>Hey guys, I will be transferring to OSU in the fall and was wondering if any transfer students have received their housing info? I was accepted in April and turned in the required paperwork in May.</p>
<p>Thank You</p>
<p>I applied, my status used to say “evaluation”, and now it says “active” do you know what that means? it’s not under any of the possible ones OSU talks about (Complete/Evaluation/Received/Referred/Incomplete/Deferred/Wait-listed/Admit/Deny)</p>
<p>does this mean I’m in?</p>
<p>Hey monacle, that’s interesting. I’m sorry, but I don’t know what that status is. You should try giving them a call.</p>
<p>I’m in! just waiting on Northwestern</p>
<p>Hello, fellow transfer student here, got accepted in April and paid for everything in May.</p>
<p>I got an email back on June 2nd, stating this:</p>
<p>At this time, housing for the 11-12 academic year is exceptionally limited, and we are not able to offer on-campus housing to students who are not freshman students</p>
<p>I was able to talk to them on June 20th in person during my transfer orientation and was able to move up on the list in case any one cancels so I can get a dorm. Good luck.</p>
<p>So if you transfer to OSU for Fall 2011 there is no housing and you have to live off campus, basically?</p>
<p>Correct Lexyb000 you have to find off campus. The email claims:</p>
<p>At this time, housing for the 11-12 academic year is exceptionally limited, and we are not able to offer on-campus housing to students who are not freshman students</p>
<p>Unfortunately, due to scheduled renovations to two housing facilities for the 2011-2012 academic year, on-campus housing availability is exceptionally reduced. Because of high demand from first year students, it is our anticipation that we are not going to be in a position to offer on-campus housing accommodations to non-freshman students. We are recommending that any student who is in need of housing accommodations beginning autumn quarter contact the Office of Off-Campus Student Services for assistance with their search. this office maintains listings of off-campus housing accommodations near the campus area, and offers a great deal of services for students searching for suitable housing.</p>
<p>I wrote them back and asked why wasn’t I told this and all they said was they were going to put me on a waiting list and this:</p>
<p>This year with two halls being offline (losing almost 900 spaces) and a larger than normal incoming freshman class (up about 500 from last year) the availability is not there like it has been in the past.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info Mustang, Hopefully the wait list clears up. I am from out of state and now am completely stuck on what to do for housing.</p>
<p>Hey futures91210 I am also from out of state and in the same boat you are in. I am searching hardcore for some places to stay if I hear anything I will let you know! Just had orientation yesterday.</p>
