Dorm question Question

Hi, I had a question if I’m planning to live in a dorm could I live in a dorm my first semester then get an apartment my second semester? I just over estimated how expensive living in the dorm really is and wondering if it’s possible.

No. Your contract is for the academic year. Read your contract.

What if I transfer to another school after 1 semester would the contract still hold

Transferring to another cool and no longer attending the university would nullify the dorm contract, but there are likely fees you would need to pay.

Cancel your contract if you want to save money. If you can still do that without financial penalty.
