I will be transferring from a community college in California to Howard University this Fall. I wanted to know if any current Howard students were transfers and if so, how was your experience? I was hoping to meet other transfers at ASD this year but majority were freshman. Is it really hard adjusting socially and meeting new people? Also is it worth living on campus at the Towers or would it be best to find a place off campus?
Hi, my name is Mircale and I’ll be transferring to Howard in the fall too! I’m also trying to decide between living on or off campus too and yeah there were most freshman at ASD so I didn’t meet many transfers either. We will be on this journey together so feel free to contact me and maybe we can link up in the fall!
I will message you!
I am also going in as a transfer. As of right now my plan is to live on campus if they give me housing. Which they said they likely will because I filed my housing application really really early.
Did you request to live in the Towers?
^ no, unfortuantely. I picked college hall south. SOmeone told me to pick it because it was brand new, but now a lot of people are telling me I should have picked the towers b/c I’m 21 and probably don’t want to be smack dab in the middle of campus.
I’m transferring too this Fall and the second ASD was filled with freshmen. I was wondering the same thing about meeting new people, I’m not really that outgoing.
I think it might be better to live on campus at least for the first semester just to feel more involved.
