Transferring to UMN Twin Cities Sophomore Year

<p>I'm going to be a college freshman at University of Nebraska - Lincoln this fall. For financial reasons, as well as the fact that UMN is a better school for what I want academically and premed, I plan on transferring there sophomore year. Do you think it would be hard to get involved and meet people as a sophomore when most transfers are juniors? I'm also concerned about housing. For anyone who goes/knows someone who goes to the school, is housing really hard to come by for non-freshman. When is a good time to apply for it by? Thanks!</p>
