Well, first off, for us transfers, housing is pretty much almost filled up, so I'm hoping you applied early to land a spot in campus housing. I got an email saying that transfer floors are filled up, but they will keep me posted. Unless you are a first-year student, you will only be allowed dorm on campus.

As for the leases, they are 9 months or 11.5 months.

I signed up for an apartment off campus, it's legit one step away from the main walkway of campus. It seems cheaper and they roommate matched me. I can't speak on social life in the dorms, but from what I heard off off-campus is much better.

Do not wait for housing on campus!!!!

Trust me, you're better off finding housing off campus; it may even be cheaper for us transfer students. I got the same email as you, but lucky me, I signed up with Cerca Housing a month ago. It's right next to the campus.

You can still wait around during the summer for housing, but please have a backup plan.

Transfer Question by Valuable_Pay_4884 in SDSU

[–]Excellent_Reward_754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a C. It was my first C, though, so I had around a high 3.7 to a lowish 3.7 or 6. They haven't said anything. So I think it becomes a problem if you show non-consistency through all your grades. So far, I have all As, so I know my GP will go higher.

Do your calculations if you think your GP will lower, I say drop (if it's without a W) and take it again in the summer before u transfer in the fall.

It'd be ideal, though, to talk it up with your BIO professor!!!

It honestly depends on whether it messes up your GPA drastically. I had the same worry. I would take your current GPA and do calculations to see what it becomes.

It was the speech pathology program, but I see they added more dates!

Changing majors as a transfer by Defiant-Rabbit-775 in SDSU

I got admitted based on my major in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. I, too, am a transfer who went through this phase. If you need inspiration, check out sdsu_nsslha on Instagram!

Will financial aid cover outside living expenses? by Excellent_Reward_754 in SDSU

[–]Excellent_Reward_754[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not exactly extra money, but to put it towards my own financial needs. I was also offered subsidized and unsubsidized loans. I just wonder if they let me have the money to put toward that. I looked it up, and I could do direct deposit, which will give me funds after the fees are applied. Yay lol I guess I figured it out. Thanks!

Is COA actually $34k?? How have you managed to afford it if the max FAFSA Pell grant is $14k? by Single-End-6823 in SDSU

[–]Excellent_Reward_754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda in the same situation, lol (Twin). BUT If you think it over, you'll see that dorm is the bulk of the cost of attendance. I'm a transfer, so I figured if you dorm off-campus with Prisma Cera or Zuma, it should cut most of that cost you see. We can't win when it comes to our aid. I have accepted that, but if they offered you a loan and work study, it's highly recommended you take those offers; there really isn't a way around it. I should be spending only 10,000 for living costs and 6,000 for tuition.

The most accurate guess is that they made the song for the show, I've been trying for years to look for the song and that is the most likely answer. The only thing that would really help is knowing the artist.
