<p>Is there a reason you’d rather apply first as a visiting student and then to transfer? It seems like it’d spare you the trouble (and the sanity) of applying twice in such a short period of time if you skipped to the transferring bit.</p>
<p>As for housing, Elliot Hall ([Elliott</a> Hall](<a href=“http://barnard.edu/reslife/residencehalls/elliott.html]Elliott”>http://barnard.edu/reslife/residencehalls/elliott.html) - yeah, I forgot how to code a link) has two floors reserved for transfers, and you can see from its floor plans that there are a respectable number of singles. They offer floor plans for every residential hall, I believe, so click around. Iirc, a lot of the halls have photos of the rooms too, though I kinda doubt any have photos of the bathrooms.</p>
