Are transfer students at Occidental College required to live on campus? I'm wondering if I'll need to look for off-campus housing or if campus living is mandatory for transfers.
At Occidental College, transfer students are not required to live on campus. However, housing is provided for transfers based on availability. It might be beneficial to inquire with the school's housing office to understand the likelihood of getting a spot in on-campus housing as a transfer student.
At the same time, it could be helpful to start researching off-campus housing options as well. The Eagle Rock area surrounding the campus might be a good place to start your search. Remember to consider safety, distance to campus, and what amenities are included with rent. Be sure to consider public transportation availability as well, especially if you don't have a car.
In any case, get started early to avoid last-minute stress, and reach out to Oxy's housing office or student affairs office with any questions. They can provide up-to-date and detailed information to help you with housing and transition into your new college life. Good luck with your transfer!
