<p>Out of the following list of colleges, where would the transfer experience be the best at?
Santa Clara, U of San Fran, Pomona, Oxy, Claremont Mckenna, Chapman, LMU, or UOP? I am going to a JC right now but went to the U of A for a year right before this. So, I understand a lot of your experience is what you make of it and I had a great time at the U, but I was a frosh then. </p>
<p>My main concentration here is academics so Id like to go to a decent institution. Secondly, transfer dorms, greek life, and decent size population would be nice.</p>
<p>If anybody has had a great transfer experience at another college, go ahead and promote it to me cuz Im not just considering the 1s that I listed.</p>
<p>I’m a transfer here at Claremont McKenna and I must say that it’s been a great experience. Everyone is extremely friendly and open to socializing with new people. There are no frats but I like to think of CMC as one giant frat. All the parties are open and are in public places such as lounges (Thursday Night Club) or other venues for the Saturday parties. In terms of academics, I am challenged significantly more here than I ever was at William & Mary so I highly suggest CMC!</p>
<p>The UOP campus is beautiful and the academics are good (depending on your major), and so long as it hasn’t changed, the Greek system is pretty good. But Stockton sucks - I was born and raised there. There are very few social and community things to do past the campus, crime and unemployment are high - let’s remember it was rated the #2 most miserable city in the country by Forbes. Personally I would rather be at USF, because the bay area is chock full of interesting things and people. LMU, Pomona and Chapman would be my next choices - again, they are the greater L.A. area, not too far from San Diego and other great So Cal coastal towns, lots to do and see, all academically challenging. (On that note, have you thought about USD?) </p>
<p>It is true that depending on your major and course schedules, you may not leave campus that often anyway, so being in a crap town might not matter. But for me, having fun places to explore and lots of interesting people to meet during the down time is essential, because you’ll need outlets to get away from school and recharge your batteries.</p>
