Transferring and not knowing anyone

<p>Well I am planning to transfer out of state in Fall08. I have no worries about meeting people but what I am thinking about is when I get there. What do transfer students generally do? How do I find a room mate since I am not going to know a single person wherever I transfer. Also, is it weird for a junior to be living in the dorms?</p>

<p>for finding roommates, you'll just get assigned one.</p>

<p>and in some cases, it is weird for a junior to be living in the dorms. it all depends on the school though.</p>

<p>Many schools have some Orientation functions specifically for Transfers. Even if it is only a luncheon/info meeting, that is one way to meet people. Roommate assignment is the norm, as aspirant said. Sometimes with another transfer, sometimes not a transfer. Either can work out fine.</p>
