<p>This is a generic question and I am sure all answers depend on where you go to school, but: For you transfer students, do you plan on living in dorms? </p>
<p>I've only been at local community colleges, so I am not really sure how the living situation will work. Are there upper-level dorms or apartments for transfer students? Or are there school-run apartments located on or near campus? Do schools offer single-person housing (complete with bathrooms and possibly kitchens--I guess this would be more of a school-provided apartment)?</p>
<p>Or do you all plan on just finding your own place wherever you go?</p>
<p>I know Cornell has a dorm just for transfer students.</p>
<p>I would like to live on campus wherever I go, since I absolutely hate driving to class. I also love the idea of just walking off to the library or whatever to study. </p>
<p>I hope I get a single wherever I end up. I'm 27, and the idea of being thrown into a room with an 18 year old seems pretty wierd.</p>
<p>I've heard that some places (like U chicago) have communal bathrooms. Uhhh... No thanks. The last thing I want is to share a bathroom with a bunch of teenagers. lol I sure hope each school looks at my age before they assign me housing. A single with a bathroom would be awesome. I can survive without the kitchen.</p>
<p>John... exactly. That's what I am talkin about. I want to live on or very near campus, and actually don't mind making some sacrifice (shared something or other). But I am older too, and have been living alone or with a gf for years now.</p>
<p>I didn't know Cornell offered transfer dorms... (that is my choice college). Do you have a link for more info? I would think living on campus in frozen Ithaca would be pretty desirable.</p>
<p>I wonder how many non-trads are applying to Cornell on this board? We should all get a house or something :D</p>
<p>at georgetown or barnard, hopefully one of the off campus townhomes that are part of university housing, at harvard one of the sweet, sweet houses and at wellesley, just one of the dorms...</p>
<p>every school will be different in their transfer housing process.</p>
<p>as for me, i've been commuting for the past 2 years and i'm looking for a change. i'd definitely prefer a single room on-campus, but i know that's hard to come by. but anyways, i would suggest to live on campus at least your first year so you can meet more people.</p>
<p>Everyone keeps telling me I'm crazy for wanting to live on campus after having lived on my own for so long, but I kinda feel like it's an experience I missed out on. I really want to be on a meal plan and not have to deal with traffic!</p>
<p>Do many schools offer university-run studios, complete with kitchen and bathroom? I was visiting my friend at UCLA over the weekend and he had an awesome little setup, though he is in UCLA's law school.</p>

<p>Yeah, I've lived in sunny CA all my life. I might end up with my car at the bottom of one of those ravines if I try to drive through the Ithaca tundra. :D</p>

<p>As a sophomore or junior transfer, that will be impossible since the townhouses were the first to be filled in our housing selection period. You could try for your Junior/Senior year, but you will most likely not obtain one unless you are among the first to select. </p>
<p>Also, you are not guaranteed housing beyond sophomore year, so you might even be placed on a waitlist. Off-campus housing around Georgetown is very expensive, so if you plan to do that, you should have friends who are willing to assume some of the costs. Additionally, off-campus housing errands (such as lease-signing) should have been completed by November of last year for the following academic year, or at the latest, by late April.</p>
<p>i will live on campus for my sophomore year to meet people. i kind of want to live in the freshman dorm but then again i want to take advantage of the fact that i graduated high school early and can get the good dorms. junior and senior year will be off-campus.</p>
<p>Since I'm 90% sure that Berkeley won't let my girlfriend live in a UC-sponsored upper division single unit with me (even though it'd make me way more connected and active with the school), I'm living with my gf in a house my dad owns in San Bruno (next to SF airport). I'll kick it on the SFSU campus with the 60-40 female ratio :)</p>
