I got accepted about a month ago as a transfer student…
I would really like to live in the dorms so i can meet people, etc.
How exactly does the housing selection process work? What are my chances of getting in the dorms?
I talked to my aunt whose son already attends michigan and she said that there’s a lottery drawing for housing…and that everyone gets a number 1-4 and 1’s get first choice at where they stay…? is this true?
do freshman get priority over transfers so i can only get what’s left after they’ve been assigned? if i get a 4 in the lottery, am i just out of luck at getting in the dorms? is there room for everyone in the dorms?

i just have no idea how it works and i’m stressing about it…haha i haven’t gotten any information yet about housing sent so that’s why i’m pretty clueless. and i’ve gone to the housing website but i can’t find the information i’m looking for.
i want to be in a dorm so badly but i’m worried i won’t be able too :(
