I'm planning on transferring next fall. I'm a freshman and I currently commute to Pitt and I want to transfer to a bigger university in Philly, which means living on campus. It would be my sophmore year. Has anyone done this? If so, do you have any advice, as in was it hard to make friends/adjust? I'm just nervous that everyone will already know people and I wont find anyone. What did you do?
Thanks to all that answer.

If you live on campus you will have NO problem meeting people. If you are going to live off campus, then consider joining social clubs or maybe even a fraternity.

I did this. It was a really difficult transition for me. I totally agree wth the first poster, who said to make sure your grades transfer. I encountered a problem with this at the END of my second year, when I went to enroll in third-year programs. It turned out that I had been awarded NUMERIC transfer credit but not credit for the CONTENT of my first-year classes. The issue didn't arise until I'd already completed an entire year, and the uni was asking me to go back and do FIRST year courses when I was in my THIRD year. I ended up transferring back to my original university rather than repeat multiple classes.
In terms of meeting people, I found that it was really effective to live in a smaller, apartment-style residence rather than a huge dormitory. I was already eighteen when I started my second year, and I wasn't keen on having a roommate or sharing a bathroom with one hundred other girls. I got a place in a four-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment ON CAMPUS that I shared with three girls my age. They all knew eachother and we became good friends right away. Through them, I met lots of other cool people. I am now doing graduate studies and I'm meeting so many cool people in my classes- I wish I had reached out to my classmates more when I was an undergrad. Don't be afraid to start chatting with the random person beside you! If you have a small(ish) class consider organizing a class party after midterms- at someone's house or at a bar or nightclub.

The most important thing for you to remember is to make sure all of your grades transfer.

possibly she in basic terms needs to visit college to larger her occupation and he or she chosen your college for the actual shown actuality that you're there and probably something can take position? Why are you searching at this in a unfavourable view? experience free that she is coming to be close to you.
