Transferring to Texas Tech

I am a current freshman and I attend a private art school and I stay at home. I want to transfer to Tech for Fall 2016 but I’m just worrying about a lot of things. First, my school is in trimesters, meaning everyone’s semester is over and mine doesn’t end until the 29th. I’m not going to apply until my trimester is over and I have actual credits to transfer. I have to wait basically another month to apply and that causes other problems with the housing I wanted. I really wanted the transfer community Muarry Hall for females so I can be around other transfer students, since I’m going to be far from home and won’t know anyone but they have very few spots left for Fall 2016. I don’t think I can apply to the housing for a spot if I haven’t even applied to TTU itself, and since I have to wait another month to apply I’m afraid there won’t be any spots left. I’m pretty confident that I’ll get in since I’ll have a 3.8 gpa when applying but I’m just worried that I won’t be happy with my living arrangement if I don’t get that hall. Should I just apply somewhere else? I really have to have my own room. I have obsessive compulsion disorder and I literally freak out when people touch my things or if people I don’t know are in my personal space. What should I do?

Are you 100% sure that your Private Art School credits are transferable to Texas Tech? Is the Art School “properly” accredited? If the answer is yes to both questions, will all/most of those credits transfer over to TT?

Yeah they are actually I checked on the TTU website before I made my decision to transfer there. I’m trying to stay away from any iffy courses that they wouldn’t have at TTU next trimester.
