<p>Hi! I know there have been numerous housing threads for both new and transfer students, but I am considering transferring to Fordham as a junior and one of my main concerns is whether or not I would be able to receive on campus housing. </p>
<p>If there are any transfer students out there who have received on campus housing this year please let me know. Thanks!</p>
<p>The only situation where they wouldn’t offer housing is if you live within commuting distance from the school. And, assuming you don’t get housing anyways, tons of juniors and seniors live in off-campus housing, and it wouldn’t be hard to find a room in Belmont/Little Italy. (If you’re thinking of transferring to LC, that might be a bit harder.) These rooms even tend to be better priced than the Fordham dorms, and they’ll probably have kitchens. So don’t sweat it, you’ll end up finding a place.</p>
<p>From what I understand transfers are not always offered housing. I guess it really depends on the space available in dorms. The person I know who transferred into RH this year did get housing if that helps.</p>
<p>Hi Collegegrl4!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, transfer students are not guaranteed housing when they are admitted. Rather, they are placed on a housing wait list, which may open up depending on availability.</p>
<p>If you aren’t granted housing right away, you can always get an apartment off-campus. ResLife is really good about trying to match up transfer students who need off-campus roommates, and that’s exactly what one of my friends did when she transferred to Fordham. She was taken into on-campus housing from the WL second semester, and then she was guaranteed housing after that!</p>
<p>So, even if you aren’t granted housing, there are definitely options.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Thanks you for the information! Does anyone have any information about the three new upperclassmen dorms opening this fall? Wouldn’t the new dorms make room for more students in the other older dorms?</p>
<p>There is more housing overall, but not as much as you might expect. Hughes Hall which was a freshman dorm has been taken out of service as a residential hall and will be rennovated into new a home for the business school.</p>
<p>Here’s some straight info about the new upperclassmen dorms:
Campbell and Salice-Conley Halls are all apartment-style, designed to house 450 upperclass students. They are residential colleges, and the theme is “Transitions,” because most of the CSC residents are seniors (although there are some junior/sophomores). There will also be a new dining facility in Campbell. CSC is split into two buildings/four towers: Campbell 1 and 2 (which are connected) and Salice and Conley (which are connected). There are apartments in four styles: two double rooms, three double rooms, four single rooms, and five single rooms. All apts have dishwashers, AC, microwaves, and laundry in the basement.</p>
<p>And yes, there is a little bit more room, which is why more transfer students may get housing. But since Hughes is closed now (a freshman dorm), Martyrs (an upperclass dorm) is being split between freshmen and upperclassmen now. So, that eliminates some of the housing that currently existed for upperclassmen.</p>
<p>I haven’t been posting here lately, sorry! I probably won’t be able to come on the boards often in the future, but I feel this one really merits a comment.</p>
<p>Housing may be granted as late as a few days into the semester. Meaning you may have to start classes before receiving word about your housing assignment. There are HUNDREDS of people on the waiting list from what I have been told and even with the new housing not everyone will get it. I strongly recommend having at least one viable back up plan!!!</p>
