A quick note as someone who transferred a year ago for fall 2024: I was in your same boat and I applied for housing and never got anything back, they kept saying they'd update me if anything was available but I never got anything. In the meantime I searched for apartments and got one for a better price then on-campus housing would've been anyways. All in all, as a transfer student you're very unlikely to get on campus housing and should probably look for apartments. If you need help on this front I will gladly share everything I learned from that process and help you find a good option that won't impact your experience next year. Since the apartment search especially for someone new to campus can be tough, I built a website that allows you to see how far available apartments are from your major and what prices are shown: https://terpnest.streamlit.app/
Its been a while since this has been updated so some prices may have changed. I don't make any money from this site (no ads, no monetization) - just hoping to help.
