<p>I don’t like to see kids start their college experience expecting to transfer, unless attending a cc. I think it prevents them from fully bonding with their school and programs because they know it’s only temporary. They are barely in the door and it’s time to start researching schools again. On the other hand, I agree with dbwes that if he is really happy and allows himself to engage with his school, there is a good chance he will forget the transfer plan, so he should be prepared to get a degree from whatever school he chooses, it just might happen.
Transferring is not always easy emotionally, socially and academically. I don’t think planning to transfer should be used as a way to avoid making a decision.</p>
<p>If he does intend to follow this path, he should take a look at the transfer sites of the schools he may be interested in attending to see the admissions requirements and also the transfer credit policies.</p>
