Getting an Apartment Style Dorm on the Horsehoe

Was given wrong info and did not get application in for housing before May 1. How difficult is it to get into Elliott on the Horseshoe for a dorm. In system transfer student from Upstate. (sophomore).

transfer students unfortunately are last priority when it comes to housin. I transferred in last year and it was full until the week of school startin so I just had to do off campus housin, which in the end is actually cheaper just with monthly payments

Considering most of the people I knew from my grade - I'll be a sophomore - didn't even get on-campus housing, I would say your chances aren't very good. Plus I heard the transfer students are getting put in the Roost.

It is very hard to get horseshoe apartments as they usually fill up first, but I know they are awesome and a great place to stay on campus.

Getting around campus/dorms

How difficult is it to get around campus? 15 minutes between classes and have to go from Sloan to PHRC!

Its not too bad. I also think they are changing it to where there is 20 minutes between classes starting Fall 2012 or Fall 2013

it can take about 15 mins. keep in mind we are in Columbia we do have hills. they are hard to walk up, but you get used to it after a while

The Columbia campus is contained in about a 1 mile square so walking usually gives ample time between classes or a bike is an option for others who prefer.

Not difficult at all!

The campus is large, but there are many places the buses stop. I recommend a bike.
