<p>Say you go to a university in your freshman year of college. You live in a residence hall because the college is a good 3 hours away. But in your sophomore year, you go to your local community college. In June, for your junior year, you decide that you want to go back to the university that you went to in your freshman year. Because classes start at the end of August, what are the chances that you were able to get an on-campus apartment, and not a dorm room?</p>
<p>That’s hard to answer because it really depends on the school and how many people already applied for on campus housing this semester. You should just sign up, and by this time a lot of people change halls/building/just don’t show up/cancel their contract so you might get lucky and get an on campus apartment. I would still try to find an apartment close to campus just in case.</p>
<p>Since you probably didn’t apply for housing until after the other transfers, your chances at my school would be pretty much zero for on-campus apartments, and you would likely be on the waiting list for a dorm room (which you would probably get, but not until after classes had started). I would look into off-campus apartments if I were you.</p>
<p>At my school even if you apply as early as you can, as a transfer student you are extremely lucky if you are able to get into the dorms. There is a decent chance of getting an on campus apartment, but not if you apply super late and you may still get nothing. I would guess you’d be hard pressed to even find something decent off-campus only two months in advance.</p>
<p>The normal course of action regarding transferring:</p>
<p>In the fall of your last year of community college, you APPLY to 4-year colleges using their transfer application. All of the required additional info needs to be sent–(college transcripts, professor recommendations, essays, etc.). Once the application is complete and in the hands of the admission’s office at the possible transfer college, it will be reviewed. You can’t assume that you will automatically be accepted.</p>
<p>Once accepted, you then have to send in deposits. If you are requesting on-campus housing, you must do so early----such as when you first receive notice of your application decision (accepted, rejected). </p>
<p>In short, you don’t wait until the last minute to send out transfer applications. You should start sending out the applications during the early fall of your last academic year at the community college.</p>
<p>Cheshire, you’re saying that you attended a 4-year residence college your freshman year.
Then you withdrew, moved back home, and attended your local community college. You’re assuming that you can simply go back to your original residence college. If you withdrew from the original school, you have to go through the application process all over again. They may not accept you back into the program. You really need to do some research and get a grip on the reality of your situation.</p>
