Transfer Housing... special (maybe) needs

<p>I can't stand a roommate, not even a quiet one. I think I only function well with my door closed with no one else in the room... so which schools allow transfer students to have singles? Or perhaps some schools that have nice single rooms in general?</p>

<p>Are you allowed to have an opposite sex roomate? =D</p>

<p>lol. YES.</p>

<p>okay on a serious note: no, no roommate whatsoever. I really want to get into grad school.</p>

<p>just get an apartment.</p>

<p>But don't most schools require a 2 year residency thingy?</p>

<p>I don't know what you're talking about...Explain please?</p>

<p>Oh my goodness. </p>

<p>Just be prepared to shell out the money for a single dorm room. </p>

<p>Gosh.</p>

<p>You should get an apartment!</p>

<p>Lots of schools have singled and many of them allow transfers to have a single. But that is different from guaranteeing one. Many schools have you apply for housing/enter the housing lottery after you are accepted.</p>

<p>I think you'd have to investigate this question at each school of interest to you.</p>

<p>CardinalFocused: some schools require you to live in their campus for a minimum of 2 years... I think...</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure residency for undergraduate studies doesn't necessarily mean living on the school's campus. It just means you have to be enrolled and taking a fixed number of classes for two years (usually) or whatever the college says. </p>

<p>Perhaps I'm incorrect, but I thought living on campus was mandatory more often for the freshmen than for the transfers.</p>

<p>well... I would still like to live on campus. :)</p>

<p>two reasons
1.) don't have a car
2.) the convience of getting to class/getting food</p>

<p>I still want to be sociable with other students, I just don't want to be disturbed when I need to study/do paper/hw etc.</p>

<p>Oh, Ok...I didn't quite understand where you were coming from.</p>

<p>I think you would get more helpful information investigating the housing policies of the schools that interest you like jmmom posted earlier since school policies vary. </p>

<p>Good luck with your admission(s)! :)</p>

<p>so... can anyone describe the singles at their college? if they're available for transfers and such? I've been to some websites and they're really vague about how one obtains a single (that is if you don't have a medical need for one). </p>

<p>Also what are some colleges that have reknown dorms... I heard Wesleyan has pretty nice singles... I might be wrong though.</p>

<p>singles are more expensive, are u sure u want to pay like 1,000 more a year?</p>

<p>Yes, if it helps me get a good grade, of course. I plan to go to grad school, so... yeah. It's definitely vital that I do well, and if that means an extra 1,000, so be it.</p>

<p>dudes, he wants a single, on campus, no one is really answering his question, heh</p>

<p>Lots of schools will probably have available singles for transfers. My only point of reference: northwestern, definitely has singles available for transfers.</p>

<p>If you are a guy, which it sounds like you are, they have a whole guys-only dorm that is exclusively singles, and it's pretty easy to get in considering most guys don't want to live in an all-guys dorm.</p>

<p>thank you elsijfdl.</p>

<p>I don't mind living with all-guys, but tell me theres a girls dorm nearby. I don't want to be completely void of the opposite sex :P</p>

<p>it's right on the frat quads, near other coed dorms and all the on-campus parties</p>

<p>other schools i'm sure have similar accomodations, getting a single should not be a very difficult prospect</p>

<p>George Washington offers transfer singles</p>
