Re: Oxford/LSE, I actually checked out the Study Abroad page on WashU’s website and they basically say that for transfers:

A) You study for one semester at most or must have very pressing reasons (such as a foreign language as your major) to study for a year abroad

B) They strongly recommend you participate in summer study abroad sessions. It’s different for you since you’re a sophomore coming in…you may have more time, but if you’re a junior it is impossible to stay abroad for a year because you must be in St. Louis for 3 semesters to graduate.

My academic advisor has just helped me with regards to the cluster system and what all is required and also with my projected courseload for the coming semester. She is great and is contacting professors for me for specific classes to try and bypass the prereqs in some cases. In addition, she’s told me that for those transfers that don’t get on-campus housing, the Dean of Arts and Sciences is putting together a purchase of nearby apartment/townhomes that will be exclusively for transfers. Supposedly it is very close to the university as well.

The girl (ambassador) contacted me after I’d previously contacted someone in ResLife whom I was recommended to. Hopefully I’ll be able to room with her and her roommate because living on-campus was such a big deal for me…if not Wesleyan still has a major upper hand but if I do get on-campus housing it’ll be a tough decision.
