The Transfer Living Community has allowed me to meet other transfer students and build
connections across campus. It has provided support and encouragement and made me feel
welcome and a part of the University.

What it is the TLC?
First semester transfer students are eligible to live in a community of fellow transfer students (for one academic year only). The Transfer Living Community (TLC) will include social engagement activities to support you as an individual and assist you in becoming an engaged member of the ETSU family!
Transferring can be challenging but exciting. The TLC is a way for you to quickly meet other students and begin feeling at home at ETSU. We will provide you with social opportunities to engage and interact with the other members of the Transfer Living Community such as:
Bowling, hiking, escape room, meals, attending on campus activities together, etc.
In addition, we can provide support from our staff to help you adjust and connect to resources at ETSU.
-
Where is the TLC located?
The TLC will be located in Buc Ridge Phase 2. The cost varies per year. Click here for current cost. MEAL PLAN IS NOT REQUIRED!
After you have been accepted into the TLC you will be assigned a roommate that is also in the TLC. If you already have someone in mind you want to room with, who is also a first semester transfer student, please indicate that on the application. Decisions will be made beginning late spring.
Students are only eligible to live in the TLC for their first academic year (Fall - Spring) . If you plan to live on campus beyond your first year, you will be reassigned to a new room or housing facility.
