I have to leave my school eventually, but when should I transfer?

Transfer Students

<p>I study in Madrid, Spain at Suffolk University (an American university that has a campus here). I began studying here right from the start, freshman year. However, due to the extremely small size of the school and the very limited amount of classes offered, I can only stay 2 years before having to transfer internally to the Boston campus. I have no desire to go there. </p>

<p>I'm still a freshman, but I'm debating whether to transfer mid-sophomore year or transfer as a junior. My high school record is great (graduated with 3.64) but my first semester in college was awfully rocky (got 1.7), but I'm improving drastically. When should I transfer?</p>

<p>Also, for next semester, I have to live off-campus for financial reasons. But trying to find a place for only one semester is difficult from what I've been told, thus why I might wait until junior year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>My advice would be to wait to be a jr year transfer. </p>

<p>If you apply in the fall for a spring of soph yr transfer, you will only have 1 semester to show improvement over your rocky start. I think it is advantageous to put as much time and great grades between that semester and transfer apps as possible.</p>

<p>I’ll do that then. Thank you so much for the help! :D</p>
