<p>Hi all,
So I'm a VA native at a top LAC in the northeast and strongly considering transferring. Pretty sure W&M and UVA are my top choices.</p>

<p>First off, I haven't been able to make any of the visitation days for transfer students. I'll be visiting sometime over spring break - </p>

<p>Also, is there anyone here who can talk about the math dept.? Specifically research. I'm looking to get into that as soon as possible. Are there any ways I could do supervised research during the school year? Does anyone know how well students place into graduate school? I'm looking into statistics and operations research, and I saw a decent offering of those courses on the catalog.</p>

<p>With transfer housing, is the trick to apply as soon as applications are available? How far off-campus are most apartments? How much will these typically run per month?</p>

<p>Greek life - I'm not sure if I'll be transferring in as a sophomore or a junior, but I'm thinking about joining a frat. Can juniors rush or only frosh/sophs? Do all fraternities have houses? How big are they typically?</p>

<p>Thanks. Looking forward to applying/visiting soon.</p>

<p>We’d encourage you to contact the Math Department directly to see what if any research is being conducted in your area of interest. Faculty are happy to correspond with prospective students.</p>

<p>For transfer housing it is best to apply as soon as the application becomes available as housing is awarded, for the most part, on a first-come, first-serve basis.</p>

<p>We’ll leave it to students to respond to the more student-life oriented questions.</p>
