You guys are all nice! Honestly, Iām a bit of an introvert and was always nervous about transferring cause I felt like everyone already had their groups. But after talking to all and realizing that there are so many other transfers who are so nice and just as nervous as me makes me so much less nervous!

@torrss - OK, I donāt know anything about either Davis or SLOās English dept.
It was either Business Administration (SLO) or Managerial Economics (Davis) & I chose the major I wanted (Bus Admin.) not the school.
People thought I was crazy turning down a UC for a CSU but I stand behind my decision. The school name doesnāt make you. You make yourself in your career depending on what you do with it.

more so because I feel other students who have been first years have already friendships established and know the campus and vibe well
Iām really moved by the stories Iāve read here. I thought I was the only complete screw up at my first attempt at college, and now trying my luck at a tough university. Transfers are a special breed. We have the education money canāt buy, life.

couldnāt have said it better!
Same here!!
See and Iām a lil older than everyone (28) so I feel weird trying to be friends with people but Id still like to make some study buddies etc and friends. Like I saidā¦just awful first experience 10 years ago that makes me super apprehensive about academic environments. like ptsd almost hahaha

You made the right call. The Man. Econ major at Davis is not well-constructed, very unknown, and doesnāt attract a whole lot of attention. UC name doesnāt matter for that major there, since Davis isnāt known for it, and they donāt have an undergrad college of business so itās offered through the college of agriculture. My friends in class of 2020 Man. Econ are still working minimum wage jobs.

I came into my first year at slo not knowing a soul and 2 years later I consider it a home. Keeping an open mind and being friendly is all it takes! Just remember youāre surrounded by people your age looking to make friends too.
