Question for you US folks

[kellifer]

So, what are my options i guess is the question? If someone were to be moved from college dorms to off campus housing by the college when there was a dorm shortage of some kind? We don't really have a dorm system here at all so I don't really know how it works.

This is for my abouttwoboys fic which is in danger of now being 7k of never being finished... :/ (The movie I'm writing is "Loser").

ETA: It's looking like perhaps a long-term hotel room is the go, thanks everyone!!

My brother had that problem his junior year of college--it was right after 9/11 so not nearly as many students as usual went abroad, leaving the school with not enough dorms. In his case, he was in school in the town where we lived, so he agreed to move home, but I assume that the school allowed more students to live off campus than they would otherwise. A lot of that, however, depends on the school; my brother was at a small college which only gave students the option of living off-campus for their senior year, and there was a housing lottery to see who got to find apartments, etc.

...I have no idea if that answered your question AT ALL. I can try again if you want!
