How can you elegantly broach the topic of transfer??

Transfer Students

<p>Hey Guys!
So the quarter is about to end and I'm about to do the most troublesome thing--asking for a transfer rec. I got super high grades on the tests and the professor deemed me as his "top ace student". So I just can't imagine how awkward it's gonna be when I ask him to write me a recommendation letter for transfer, He will be so disappointed (he is an old guy who lived in one place for his entire life).</p>

<p>So, for those of you who did get strong recommendation letters, how did you do that??</p>

<p>i told my teacher i needed to transfer to the city so that i would have better location for internships and networking</p>

<p>it’s not like ‘i hate your town, help me get out of here’</p>

<p>Wow that’s a good reason! Thanks By the way, did you professor include the reason why you wanna transfer in the rec letter? If he did, I think I have to tell the truth: I like that school better than this one…</p>

<p>i doubt your prof is going to write why you want to transfer, thats not what the letter is for</p>

<p>you should be good, either way i dont think the guy is going to take it personally</p>
