Harvard to transfer students: try again in two years
By James Vaznis, Globe Staff
Harvard College has a message for students who want to transfer to the institution: There's no room at the inn.
School officials said Thursday they will not accept transfer students for the next two academic years because of a shortage of student housing.
In a statement posted on its website, the college said Dean David Pilbeam based his decision on a recent study of the college's residential housing that was the most thorough examination of housing needs in the institution's history.
The college has a long tradition of housing most of its undergraduate students on campus and does not admit transfer students to a nonresidential status.
Harvard spokesman Robert Mitchell said the school wanted to focus on serving new students, rather than transfer students, because of the limited housing.
