<p>Does anyone know which dorm fits transfer student more? also social science studies?</p>
<p>I’d suggest “no dorm” if possible. Many 2nd, 3rd year students move out of the dorms by the time they become juniors or seniors. I have made plans to live in a condo less than 1 mile from campus (Laurelhurst) - right on the bus route to campus and the UW village.</p>
<p>A lot of Junior/Seniors live in Steven’s Court apartments.
Only 2 of the buildings are reserved for freshmen
2 of the buildings you have to be at least 20 in order to live in them (So usually junior and up)
and there are about 3 buildings that anyone can live in.</p>
<p>Do you must live in dorm for a year if you decide to? or you may move after the quarter ends</p>
<p>I’m in family housing, so I’m month to month…</p>
<p>For residence halls, I did a quick search on their website. It <em>looks</em> like you can leave at the end of the quarter.
[UW</a> Housing and Food Services > Housing Options](<a href=“Housing & Food Services - UW HFS”>Housing & Food Services - UW HFS)</p>
<p>Hopefully a non-family housing person (someone living in the residence halls) can confirm it</p>
<p>Do transfer students have to live on campus for a quarter? Or can we start out living off-campus?</p>
<p>You can start out off campus, then switch into a dorm. However, this means that you have to wait to see if there are any open spots and if housing can accommodate for you at the start of that quarter.</p>
<p>I mean I want to live off-campus and stay off-campus. I just want to make sure there is no residency requirement for transfer students.</p>
<p>Oh, sorry about that! There is no residency requirement. Some students go all their time at UW not living on campus. I doubt they would have enough space for everyone if it became a requirement, even for a single quarter :)</p>
<p>Cool, thanks for the info! :)</p>
