<p>Where do transfers stay on campus? I read that there is only a possibility that transfers will be assigned to an on campus dorm. Where do they stay if they aren't assigned to this?</p>
<p>Are you transferring to WashU for fall 2008?</p>
<p>Yes, but I would like to make sure I have housing first.</p>
<p>Have you sent in your deposit and everything? I'm still waiting on housing information from them.</p>
<p>When I transferred in Fall of 2006 I originally had a place on campus, but due to the large freshmen class entering that year, I was moved into an apartment owned by Quadrangle Housing a couple of blocks off campus.</p>
<p>Do most transfers have the opportunity to live on campus? </p>
<p>btw, I GOT IN TODAY!! as a transfer and plan on attending. It's really funny because this day, March 19, was the exact day I found out I was waitlisted last year. When I saw the option to view my decision online, I knew it was too much of a coincidence. Second time's the charm apparently.</p>
<p>My son transferred as a sophomore and we had to wait quite a long time before he got a room in the dorm. He got in in May and I think he got a dorm room by late June (possibly later). His three roomates were all sophomore transfers as well. We were told that rooms open up all the time. There is a cutoff where students holding a dorm room must make a final payment so many hold rooms up until the last minute. You can call housing and find out when that date is.</p>
<p>congratulations crixx!!!!</p>
<p>They have a "transfer bloc" which is essentially a floor of one of the residence halls where transfers have the option of living. I think it's the first floor of Lopata, on the North Side of campus. If you send if your deposit and housing stuff early enough you can have the option of living in the "bloc", it does fill up early, and it is really a great way to have the freshman floor experience all over again..</p>
<p>Where do transfers live if not in the lopata bloc? Are they normally paired up with other freshman? Also, what are the differences between the north and south sides, other than spatially, do the social scenes differ at all?</p>
<p>If you are not placed in the Lopata bloc, you will most likely be placed on the North-side, in the Village or in Lopata, or even on of the off campus apartments such as Greenway. I know some transfers from a two years ago ended up on the South-40. That same year the transfer bloc got its own frat house to use. I was placed in the Bloc and had a blast, i know a lot of the transfers living outside the bloc tended to be unhappy with their lack of social life. I've never heard for transfers being placed in suites with freshman. </p>
<p>You would most likely be paired with other transfers, or sophomores. The north side is smaller, and with less of a social atmosphere, most of the kids that live on the North side are upperclassmen who have already had time to meet people.</p>
<p>I'm a transfer as well and I'd rather be in the South 40. If i send my app in this week what are my chances?</p>
<p>In the letter about the transfer weekend it says we will "learn about housing options". So when filling out the housing forms, the order we rank the rooms does not mean much?</p>
