<p>Hello. A little about myself first. I am a junior transfer student enrolled for fall '12. Therefore, I am completely new to the school and am worried about a quick acquaintance mostly. My first question is when should I begin research? I feel as a transferring junior I am already behind. Can or should I email the professors about taking research for my first term now? Will they be okay with taking on a student who hasn't taken classes yet on campus? Many questions, thanks in advanced!</p>
