<p>My S who had planned to transfer to SUNY New Paltz, has recently received a letter from the school alerting all transfer students that they will not be getting any on campus housing this year. They got an overwhelming response and have no room. They said they got 17,000 applications this year and many more students than they expected accepted admittance to the school. They have the largest incoming class ever.</p>
<p>All transfer students are scrambling for off campus housing and it is slim pickings. My S is rethinking his decision to attend since he is afraid to end up in some horrible left over housing or no housing at all and being isolated from the campus with less options for meeting people.</p>
<p>Any other students find themselves in this position. It took us by surprise.</p>
<p>Do you think this is a deal breaker for a transfer student?</p>
