<p>I have heard the bad news. I was wondering if its a semester by semester basis or not? Because I know quite a few people at harvard study abroad or take a semester off etc. I was just wondering what you opinion on this was?</p>
<p>I believe the announcement stated it is for the YEAR. They have taken into account the projected abroad students.(There are also the students returning from abroad...) The serious overcrowding in the houses will not ease up for a while.</p>
<p>The announcement stated that the freeze on transfers is for TWO years.</p>
