Housing for Transfer Student?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Chapman University
1

<p>I'm applying to Chapman as a transfer student, I live far enough away from campus where I'd probably need to move out of my family's home. I know housing can be difficult to get if you're not a freshman or sophomore. But since I would be coming in as a transfer student, I wouldn't know anyone who would want to move into an off-campus house and I definitely can't afford to have one for myself. So, what are my chances of getting a dorm on campus? Does anyone have any figures on how many transfer students live on campus? Any info would be great.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Call the housing department. They will let you know if they save any rooms for transfer students. The university is set in a residential area, surrounded by houses. Many of these homeowners rent a single room to a student, with a bathroom. It usually comes with kitchen and laundry privileges. The typically cost $600 per month. In some cases, you will have a shorter walk to class than you would from the dorms. Also, it is possible to buy a commuter meal plan at the cafeteria.</p>

<p>I’ll give them a call tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll find a pocket of time between school and work. Ha.</p>

<p>I don’t think I’d want to rent a room from a stranger’s house either though… But I do appreciate the suggestion.</p>
