Housing for a transfer student?

Based on your experience at VT, and reason for leaving, I don’t know that any Jesuit school is going to be a good fit for you. I mean absolutely no disrespect. You should be looking for a good fit, and although not the south, I think you’ll find the same lack of tolerance for ‘a little weed’ at Jesuit schools (administration, not necessarily students). I may be wrong, but I’d be less concerned with housing (and the restrictive nature you feel it has) and more concerned about a schools drug policy if that’s something you plan to continue.

There are schools that treat alcohol and minor drug infractions as health issues, and those that treat them as disciplinary and legal issues. You need to know the difference when considering a school if either are a factor for you. VT is well known to treat these as disciplinary and legal issues. It should not have been a surprise to you, and has nothing to do with ‘the south’.

Perhaps you should consider a school in Washington or Colorado? Best of luck.
