Housing for Transfer Students?

<p>I'm an admitted UMich transfer student and I'll be starting this fall. I haven't received my housing information yet, but I've spoken with reps from the Housing Office and the general impression I get is that since housing for transfer students isn't guaranteed, I'd better start making my own plans for housing.</p>

<p>Only problem is, most of my friends at UMich (I'm from Ann Arbor, half my high school class went to UM!) already figured out their living arrangements and signed leases/housing contracts back in the fall. I really, really, really don't want to be stuck living at home with my parents or something, but I don't know what to do!</p>

<p>Does anyone know anything about what the availability of housing usually is for transfers? Is there a chance that I might get some sort of university housing?! Or a way that I could look into finding it (taking over someone's contract, etc)?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
