<p>For people that already transferred: Is it easy to adjust to a new school after you transfer? Also, what about meeting people and getting involved?</p>
<p>you will find others in your same situation and yeah its pretty easy to adjust and find a niche you get comfortable with. no worries.</p>
<p>im a college transfer who is at berkeley right now. i haven't really met a lot of other ppl my age because i am in a dorm and school haven't started yet. it will pick up though when schol starts.</p>
<p>How old are you? </p>
<p>It seems like a good idea to meet students, perhaps through clubs, at your transfer school before you actually transfer.</p>
<p>if you're asking me, i'm 21 and ive been surrounded by freshmen this whole week.</p>
<p>if you're asking me, i'm 21 and ive been surrounded by freshmen this whole week</p>
<p>What so wrong w/ freshman? I will be 19 when I transfer as a junior so I'll probably hang out w/ freshman</p>
<p>cal girl, if you don't mind, could you tell me how the next few weeks go for you? i really want to transfer, but im nervous i wont have a social life being the new kid.</p>
<p>greystreet would you be transferring to a private university? cal girl has transferred to a public university, so it will be quite different the experience. in any case, if you really want to transfer, don't worry about the other things. if you just put yourself out there and be friendly you WILL make friends.</p>
<p>Actually, I think for some people it's easier to make friends. Once I transfer, I'll be living on campus instead of commuting, and everyone I've talked to has said their are a lot of social benefits that come from that. Even if I'm making friends now, I still live an hour away, so the idea of going to parties on weekends or what have you kind of loses it's appeal.</p>
<p>You're right srcameron, it is easier for some to make friends than others. But in the big college population, a transfer is bound to find atleast a few people that he/she can relate to and form friendships with.</p>
<p>I'm finding it a bit harder to make friends. The freshman tend to bond quickly, and the returning students already have their own group of friends. You just have to put yourself out there to meet people. Ask if you can join them at lunch, and join in on conversations. You'll find that you have a lot of things in common (music, movies, extracirriculars, etc.) Also, take not of people in your upper level classes, as they often have similar academic interests. People are generally very friendly here, so I am just trying to put myself out there.</p>
<p>You're right, Karma...I've talked to a lot of folks who transferred here and arrive on campus and they are not liking it and wished they had stayed put. I think everyone will feel more at home when classes start...</p>
<p>i just transferred to USC and in only a week and a half im havin a blast. Just be outgoing and try to meet every1. I been doin stuff with people everyday ive been here. be outgoing!!!</p>
