on which semester you will be transferring to the U of M.

semester provides little in the way of on-campus housing
for transfer students. You will likely need to look into off-campus
housing.
If you are looking for spring semester on-campus
housing, your chances of getting into a residence hall are better.

Planning to get a jump on your coursework by attending summer
classes? There are several summer term on-campus
housing options available through the Office of Housing and Residential
Life.
Off-campus Housing
Off-campus housing is the route you will likely have to take if
you are looking for housing in the fall. If you
would like to live in an apartment, find a roommate, or rent a room
or efficiency, you can start by exploring the off-campus
housing site maintained by the Office of Housing and Residential
Life.
In addition to reading the "Off-campus Housing Guide" on the Housing and Residential Life website for information about
your rights and obligations as a renter, the Minnesota Attorney
General's office posts a "Landlord
and Tenant's Rights and Responsibilities Handbook"
on their website. Be informed before you sign your lease!
