2005-2006: 2,741 new freshman -- 17,000 total undergrads

<p>Can someone please explain to me how USC in 2005-2006 had 2,741 new freshman and a total undergraduate population of 17,000 students? The number of new freshman times 4 does not come close to the total undergrad population. Can anyone explain?</p>

<p>The rest are transfer....</p>

<p>"Fall 2005 enrollment includes 32,836 men and women including 16,428 undergraduates, 15,065 graduate students, and 1,343 visitors. There are 2,741 new freshmen and 1,423 transfer students in the class that entered in Fall 2005."</p>

<p>Why so many transfers in? Is this common for most colleges? Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, thanks sunnydaysee.</p>
