I would love some insight about what Northwestern University is like for transfer students. I’m trying to decide whether or not to transfer there from Tufts University.
Tufts is an amazing school but what draws me to Northwestern is the academics. I (think I) would like the quarter system and am interested in the Cognitive Science program as well as the Integrating Marketing certificate. Right now, I’m not sure if transferring is worth it. Things have gotten better at Tufts since I applied to NU, but NU still interests me.
What is transfer housing like? How difficult is it to assimilate? Will I have trouble getting into classes I want? How difficult is it to get involved with the social scene as a transfer? How competitive are clubs to join? If you’re a transfer, do you regret your decision?
