Transfer for Internationals: 1st Year or 2nd Year Transfer?

Title pretty much self-explanatory. Need advice on whether international students will benefit from applying for transfer to US colleges during their 2nd year as opposed to their 1st year. Any help is much appreciated.

It depends on how many years the program is in your country. If you are in a 3-year Bachelor’s program then transferring after the first year is certainly reasonable.

Be prepared, however, for U.S. universities to require you to take a bunch of general education courses which are probably not a part of the program where you are now.

I am talking about the UK here, so the standard BA program is 3 years. Did you go through the transfer process yourself?
