I attended university until the end of spring 2004, when i had to leave due to some problems i encountered. Now I'm getting ready to apply for a spring 2008 transfer to a different school. I'll be transferring as a junior.
This school is out of state, and I want to live on campus. But I was wondering if schools had an age limit as to who can live in the dorms, i'm 23 now, and i'll be 24 by the start of the spring 08 semester.

If you are willing to pay room & board, you can live in a dorm.
There's no predetermined maximum age set by the particular University, however, you may set one yourself
I attended school away from home, and I was 24 when I was annointed a Junior. There was no way in hell I was living in a dorm with a bunch of 17 & 18 year olds, that were experiencing their first time away from Mommy and Daddy!

On campus? Never really. You might seem weird in a freshman dorm, but you're going to be a junior. 24's not old.
Even if you were 35+, there are plenty of on campus apartments as well. See if you can get in where the grad students or married students stay. Lots of schools have apartments set aside for those.
But you're 24, there are prolly some 6 yr seniors who are your age. No one will be able to tell.

Now that all of us has chimed in with the way you're literally not too previous to stay to inform the tale campus... I agree. you're literally not too previous to hit the dorms for a year. one component i am going to signify inspite of the indisputable fact that is ideal right here: once you're transferring from a JC, i'm guessing you'll have 2 years or with a view to graduate. in case you've not yet lived on your own (or with roommates), my suggestion might want to be to stay off campus with (different college elderly) roommates after your first year contained in the dorms. it truly is a actual adulthood construction component to ought to study a thanks to safeguard charges, lease, food, take care of roommates crap etc. contained in the dorms, each little thing is dealt with for you and in my opinion i don't believe of the scholars that stay contained in the dorms all 4 years of their college existence are very well equipt to handle the reality of residing on their own.

Most colleges have dorms specifically for OLDER students and juniors/seniors.. Most big univ have apts and things for OLDER students (though it usually cost a lot more).. Depends on if u want to live alone or in a dorm with hundreds of other students.. Dorm life has advantages but it also has a lot of disadvantages.. u need to weigh them both.

I would say 30, but your only 23 and if there is nothing closer and less exspensive to campus I would just live on campus.
