I am currently looking to transfer universities, but am stuck on when to do so. I’m a sophomore currently in college & have most of my gen eds out of the way. I would like to transfer in the Spring, but I have doubts about doing so in the middle of the school year.
Which is better to transfer in & why?
Would I have better luck finding a roommate in the Fall?
Are orientations more so given in the Fall?
^bump
If at all possible, I recommend a fall transfer over a spring transfer for all the reasons you mentioned and more. Schools are definitely set up to accept fall transfer students more than spring. Possibility of scholarships is pretty much non-existent for my daughter who is trying to transfer for spring 2017 because they were all awarded in the fall. Many more orientation possibilities for a fall transfer and possibly an easier time in registering for courses.
We won’t make the same mistake with daughter # 2.
Most more selective colleges admit most transfer students to start in the fall term.
