<p>I'm applying as a transfer, and I will have 58 credit hours when I enter USC. However, if I am accepted, it will be to a 4-year program, so I'll more or less be a freshman.</p>
<p>What are my options for on-campus housing? I thought I read that USC has lots of on-campus apartments. Can you apply to be paired up with a roommate for these, or do I have to find my own roommate to help split expenses? Also, when should I apply(I haven't even been accepted yet)?</p>
<p>If anyone is familiar with the process, your help would be appreciated!</p>
<p>It is difficult to get housing as a transfer student, but you should apply for housing as soon as you are accepted. There are on-campus housing as well as near campus housing options, but the demand tends to exceed supply. Even if your program is a 4-year program, you will NOT be considered a “freshman” for housing purposes.
My daughter transferred to USC as a sophomore & was offered housing in an apartment on campus with 3 other girls (one had moved out, leaving her with the 4th spot). She did not inquire about other housing options but was glad they had a spot she could occupy.
You can go to USC.edu & contact their housing department for more information about options for transfer students, so you’re ready when you get your acceptance.</p>
