<p>I'm looking to transfer to UNC next year and have some questions regarding housing. Does UNC guanrantee campus housing to transfer students that desire it? If not, do at least a good majority of transfers get the housing they want? Any other tips you have for transfer students would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Housing for transfer students is assigned on a first come, first served basis, so it’s best to apply as soon as you’re sure you want to live on campus. I’ve not heard any horror stories…</p>
<p>*guarantee, that is</p>
<p>Are Freshman, sorry First Year, students assigned on a first come basis or does everyone get a lottery number at the same time?</p>
<p>First Year housing assignments are made in the order of your randomly-assigned lottery number. As long as you apply for housing by the May 15 priority deadline, you have an equal chance of getting assigned to one of the communities of your preference.</p>
