<p>Interesting article I saw, and thought it deserved a new thread so everyone could see it who hasnt already.</p>
<p>Delta Terrace will house only transfer students next year, after dedicating a third of the residential building exclusively to transfers this year.
The idea is to build a community catered to the needs of transfer students, said Kristo Gobin, resident director for Delta Terrace.
Our hope is to funnel everyone into Delta and really build a full transfer experience, Gobin said. I think its a really cool, new way to (enhance) the student experience.
Transfer students do not have the same concerns as freshman, Gobin said. Transfers already have experience with the college system in registering for classes and finding financial aid. The Delta Terrace program next year will focus on the unique set of transfer students needs, which first include transitioning to the quarter system and life on the Hill, Gobin said.</p>
<p>I would feel more comfortable with freshman rather than older transfers since im a 1 year transfer and closer to them in age. I don’t know how I feel about this either</p>
<p>Jules Suzdaltsev, a psychology transfer student from Pierce College, lives in the all-transfer section of Delta Terrace this year.
He said it was not as social as he would have liked.
“I don’t like a lot of like-minded people living together,” Suzdaltsev said. “I’d rather have a good mix. Right now this works, but it’s kind of boring.”</p>
<p>I don’t know if I trust this…I’d rather room with someone who’s been at UCLA and can show me the ropes I think.</p>
<p>I think I’ll be getting 14, too, though 19 is a bit (very) tempting. I really hope I don’t get a triple shared bath. :</p>
<p>I don’t know what I feel about this issue either. I would like to live with transfers so the adjustment is easier, but I don’t want to live there particularly. Lame-o.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t mind living exclusively with transfer students. Psh, ya’ll will be my neighbors. All the other transfers who weren’t cool and on CC just won’t know what’s up! </p>
<p>As long as I have some choice in the matter, it’s okay. If I’m automatically put there because I’m a transfer, I’ll be ****ed, though. I think I’d rather be in a mixed residence. It doesn’t look like they have an I-House like some other schools (UCB, UCSD), so it’s not as though I’d be missing out on the opportunity to be someplace like that, but still…</p>
