Transfers get a weird rep at universities. Unlike Freshmen, transfers already have a feel of what college is and most transfers already know what their major is and what their plans are after college. But of course, transfers still need the help and support they need.
1. You're going to have major FOMO no matter what.
Everybody seems to have their own friend groups. People may have found a club or Org. they really love. And there may be underclassmen in higher org. positions than you. IT'S OK!
3. Dorming is fine. Commuting is fine. Getting an apartment is fine.
4. Hit the ground running.
6. GO to football games. GO to club events. MAKE friends! HAVE FUN.
7. Take pride in being a transfer.

9. You'll probably have to ask an underclassman for directions.
11. Don't ever regret transferring.
12. You will meet other transfers!
13. Don't be afraid to run for Org. positions.
14. Do your research on your minor before your first week of school.
15. Don't be afraid to start something new at your University.
Start a club. Start a non-profit. It's never too late
