“Transfer Advisor: A lot of colleges and universities have offices and resources designated to help potential transfer students. At Southern Connecticut State University, we have a Transfer Student Services office.”

Most transfer students change schools due to three types of variables: social, geographic and academic. Social variables can include disliking your roommates, having trouble making friends, embarrassing yourself at a party, etc. If this sounds like you, I encourage you to think about how the environment at a new school will impact these variables.

“Counselor: During your transfer orientation, your orientation ambassadors and transfer assistants will help you learn about campus. At Southern, we host a Week of Welcome program during your first week on campus. There are tons of events each day for you to attend, some hosted by different offices, others by staff members, but a majority of them are hosted by the clubs and organizations on campus. Our faculty and staff are also very involved in the clubs and organizations on campus.”

Yes, sometimes it takes time to find your home within a larger college community. It should be top priority that your university will be able to fulfill your biggest wants and needs.

“Transfer Advisor: Transfer students are such an important part of a campus community. They bring diversity, new ideas, and life experiences.”
