Does Ramapo College have specific housing options for transfer students?

I'm a potential transfer student looking at Ramapo College. I'm curious if they have specific dorm or housing options available for transfers, or if it's the same setup as first-year students.

Ramapo College treats its transfer students similarly to its first-year students when it comes to housing. The college does not have separate or designated dorms specifically for transfer students. All on-campus housing options, which vary from traditional dormitory-style to apartments, are available to both first-year and transfer students.

As a transfer student, you enter the same housing selection process as returning students. It's a lottery system that is based on various factors including your year and accrued credits. However, availability can be limited especially for juniors and seniors, so it's advisable to apply early.

It's also worth noting that certain Living Learning Communities (LLCs) might be a good fit depending on your interests and major. These are groups of students who live together and participate in programs that cater to shared academic, recreational, or personal interests. For example, if you're transferring into the Business program, you might consider the Business LLC.

Remember that while living on-campus is a great way to meet people and get involved in the community, commuting is also an option if you live nearby. Many transfer students opt for this to save money, especially if they already have housing arrangements.

In terms of exact details and to find the best housing situation that suits your needs, it would be best to reach out to the Office of Residence Life at Ramapo or check their website for the most current housing information and policies.
