<p>I'm applying to Lafayette as a transfer from Wellesley and I was wondering if anyone who transferred there knew what it was like coming in as a transfer, i.e., is it hard to make friends as a transfer? Is the school welcoming?</p>
<p>writer_gal,</p>
<p>First off, you might consider contacting Joan Lichtenwalner with any questions about the transfer process (<a href="mailto:lichtenj@lafayette.edu">lichtenj@lafayette.edu</a>). She is the admissions director in charge of all transfer applicants.</p>
<p>I do know a couple of transfer students, myself. One is currently in an English class I'm taking on Medieval literature, and no one would know he wasn't a "true" Lafayette junior if he didn't tell us during student introductions. He is very involved in campus activities (Forensics is his forte), and is always eager to contribute to class discussions.</p>
<p>Another friend of mine is a transfer, as well. Again, you'd never know she was a transfer because she is so involved with her extracurriculars.</p>
<p>I don't know the exact number of transfer students we accept each semester, but I imagine it's not that many (it depends largely, I think, on the number of students transferring out). If your grades at Wellesley are stellar, I'm sure you'll be seriously considered at the very least!</p>

<p>I know another guy who is a transfer (and international actually) and he is fitting in well.</p>
