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!!

Back when I was in undergrad there was a serious dorm shortage. Now, where I went you were only guaranteed housing the first two years. After that you had to fend for yourself. One year they let way too many kids into the Freshman class and ended up turning lounges into dorm rooms (five kids in one room, the bathrooms were communal down the hall) and utilizing the dorms of a local college for the deaf.

But other than the first two years, you were on your own to find an apartment if you didn't make the housing lottery. BTW, my school did not have sorority/fraternity housing, it was not allowed.
