Hi everyone! I’m currently going to transfer to Ohio state in fall of 2018. The housing due date is coming up and I was wondering if it’s possible for me to live in a dorm with osu students who are already at osu? I am going to be a sophomore so I have to live on campus. What I’m not sure is if I can pick who I want to live with and what dorm as well.
Try emailing OSU housing, they are very responsive and can best answer your questions on the process. Good luck!
Last year transfer students were told in spring that there would not be any room in dorms for them and they should probably look for alternate housing. Students from Ohio State regional campuses were able to get into a dorm but those transferring other institutions were told there might not be any room for them in dorms. My D transitioned from OSU Newark and got into a dorm and a learning community. Her two friends that transferred from UCinci had to get an apartment, although they wanted a dorm. I would be contacting housing and inquire what your chances were for getting into a dorm. Apartments are getting harder to find the later it gets.
