Anxious Mode... some Transfer Questions

Transfer Students
1

<p>Ok, so I went off to school this Fall and I just finished my first semester at college. And I want to transfer, however, if I choose not to go back for Spring Semester and opt to backpack across Europe or do something else, but I want admission for Fall 07, because of my lack of a full year of college will I start as a Freshman, or does it depend on each university's policy?</p>

<p>Am I ever really allowed to be a full fleged freshman again, or have I thrown away any hope of this by having gone off to school just for this semester.
I guess I'm just wondering because if I have no chance of that then I'll go back Spring Semester and then I'll try and just transfer in normally.</p>

<p>I've looked at several schools websites but the answers are often varied and vague, I was wondering if there was a more standard policy.</p>

<p>I don't even know if this is so much Transfer, but I know I can't apply as a Freshman again, but if I transfer with a lack of credits, what happens?</p>

<p>I'm just anxious, I'm not really sure what I'm doing with my life anymore, and since the time machine option is several hundred years out, I'm wondering what I can do to 'restart' this college thing.</p>

<p>in college there's no such thing as freshman, sophomore etc really. You're graduating class is considered by how many credits you have. So yes, with one semester you'd likely be considered a freshman. Same goes for someone who would have been a 2010 grad but took summer classes every year and had enough credits to graduate early. So it isn't by year, but by credits.</p>
