Transfer for Spring 2016

So I’m considering applying to Stony Brook for spring semester as a Journalism major. I currently attend Bronx Community College. I have a 3.7 gpa and at the end of this semester I’ll have 43 credits from Hofstra and BCC. I’m just concerned for getting in and housing. Would it be better to apply for fall 2016 instead of spring 2016 to guarantee housing and that I would get in. Plus what is the overall social feel of Stony Brook? I’m a pretty social person like to be around a lot of people talking so would it be harder to make friends if I transferred in spring instead of fall. Thanks!

Spring’s a mix as far as housing goes, honestly, and we’re very full this year. So if your enrollment is dependent on housing, I’d say Fall 2016 is probably a better bet for you.
