<p>At my school, from what I understand through people I’ve met in our transfer organization, spring transfer pretty much guarantees you will get the worst housing if any housing, and it is even harder to make friends than it is as a transfer student to begin with-- and it can be pretty hard. All of the above are true, too. But it really depends on the school and what they have to offer to transfer students.</p>
<p>Another issue is that there are often fewer spots open for transfer students in the Spring. People tend to think spring is less competitive, but it is often the opposite.</p>
