<p>ANY INPUT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
I am a Nursing major, rising HS senior, and will apply to UMD College Park. I want to reach people who can tell me about transferring from UMD after applying to to University of Maryland School of Nursing at Baltimore or Shady Grove. Which campus is more popular? Is it common for students to apply/transfer to the SON? Is it easy to do (or is the process living hell)? Did you find that all credits, etc. transferred as expected?
Anything unexpected, or that you wish you had known?
It sounds as if once you transfer, you are very autonomous/ independent (no class trips or student activities, etc connected to the SON...time to turn to a more private adult life outside of campus). In other words, College Park and UMSON seem VERY different. Was this jarring as a 20 year old? Did you adjust? Do you wish you didn't have to adjust?
I am also interested in staying bilingual during my college career and as a nursing student (I am not a native Spanish speaker). This is a long shot but any tips there?
THANK YOU</p>
