<li>As far as I know, I don’t see any reason why you wouldn’t get financial aid. I know a few out of staters who do, though they’re not transfers. Can’t help you much here, have you checked out the financial aid website?

<p>2/3. The lottery is held once a year in the spring for the next year’s housing selection. As a transfer, you will be guaranteed housing for two semesters, not five (I think the five is for new students, ie freshmen). However, since housing assignments are for one year (Fall+Spring), I don’t think it’s possible for you to be kicked out for Spring 2010 (since the year’s housing assignment would include both Fall 2009 and Spring 2010). In other words, you’re in the clear for Spring 2009, Fall 2009, and Spring 2010, but you may want to call up ResLife and double check with them.

<p>On the other hand, you may be kicked off during your senior year (Fall 2010+Spring 2011), depending on your lottery number.</p>

<li><p>There are a few off-campus apartments and houses very close to campus; there are also a bunch of places within a 10-15 minute drive. There’s a website for off-campus students:

<li><p>Technically yes (I think), but really not until you’ve paid tuition, room and board.</p></li>

<p>Hope this helps. I’d be happy to answer any more questions (assuming I have the answers) if you have any more.</p>
