Transfer students are still applying for housing at this time while upperclassmen at NYU have already gotten their time slots to sign up online for academic year 2011-2012 housing. In fact, all current NYU students should have gotten their housing assignments for next year. So, yes, as a transfer student, you do get whatever “is left over.”

I read last year that one transfer student was put into a dorm suite with either NYU freshmen or students from another year at NYU. The person was not very happy about that. So, again, yes, it appears that transfer students could be placed in housing with NYU students who are not in the same year as the transfer student if the housing inventory is tight.
