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 college had dorms and frats and sororities on campus for students to live in (which was required for Freshmen unless they lived at home with their parents.) Then there were university owned (or subsidized) off-campus apartments that student could live in, based on first-come first-served. Then there were the privately owned apartments that students could rent, and then there were privately owned houses and duplexes and stuff that students could rent all around town.

If there had ever been a dorm shortage, I imagine the university would have utilized the off-campus apartments they owned, or would have rented out a set of privately owned apartments near campus.
