UCSB Potential Transfer Students Network

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>It seems that at this current point many of the transfer applicants have recieved their admission decisions. For those of you still waiting I wish you the best of luck.</p>

<p>I do understand that many of us are still waiting for word from schools such as UCSD, UCD, UCB and UCLA. However, regardless of that fact many of you have already decided upon UCSB as your school of choice or at least one of your top choices.</p>

<p>The purpose of this thread is to start up some networking amongst the transfer students. It never hurts to start making acquaintances and friends early because if UCSB becomes your target destination you will be going in new, while the majority of those in your class already have had two years to establish social networks, experience the school, etc.</p>

<p>Even if you end up not going to UCSB you might make a few friends out of the process.</p>

<p>If this gets some good responses I'll see about making a group on Facebook or something similar to network the transfers of UCSB on CC, perhaps requesting a stickied discussion thread.</p>

<p>I know the profile is not incredibly extensive but it is late and I do need to get some rest. At this point in time I'd like to see the interest in this particular network. If there is sufficient interest a request can be made to the admins to provide us with a discussion thread and I will fire up a facebook group.</p>

<p>So post up! And feel free to start PMing and IMing around just to start meeting other interested potential transfers!</p>

<p>Is anyone doing Transitions this summer???</p>

<p>Ive looked into it Emily and it seems interesting but Im still not sure</p>

<p>Ah, well I'm totally going to do Transitions. Other than the fact that most people go to community colleges for summer school because it's wayy cheaper... I think it's a pretty good idea.</p>

<p>I'll get to know the campus a little better, without it being crowded. And take some extra classes before starting in Fall.</p>

<p>Let me know if anyone is thinking of joining!</p>

<p>Are you doing the transitions thing because you want to or because you also have major prereqs that you need to finish?</p>

<p>Someone should create a group for all of us on Facebook.</p>

<p>I created a Facebook group for those of us on here going to UCSB.</p>

<p>I messaged everyone in this thread...but if you want to join the link to the group is:</p>

<p>UCSB</a> College Confidential Transfer Students | Facebook</p>
