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!!

It varies a fair amount from school to school. In the schools I've gone to, you're only guaranteed on-campus housing for freshman year. Past that, you can certainly apply for on-campus housing-- you get put in a lottery, as others have said-- but if you don't get in in time, you're on your own. You have to make your own arrangements. Generally there are a fair number of apartment complexes nearby that cater to college students.
