I’m considering going to Santa Fe for two years. Then applying as a transfer student to UF. But I’m wondering what the social life is like for transfers.
Here are some questions: What is it like going to UF as a transfer? Is it better to come as a freshman? Is it easy to make friends? Can you join greek life? Are there events for juniors/transfers? Where do most transfer student live on campus? Thanks in advance!
If you do not get any responses here, I am happy to connect you with some recent SF graduates who are now at UF and who could share their experiences. They may not be monitoring this site anymore.
It is easy to transfer from Santa Fe. Read the following website:

Just like being a regular student. There are so many CC transfers at UF, I don’t think people really notice.
I think so.
Most SF transfers already knew people who were attending UF from high school or SF, so they had a base of acquaintances.
For fraternities, that would not be a problem. I don’t know about sororities and their rush practices.
Most transfer students from SF already had housing in Gainesville, and would not consider moving into the dorms.
