Would you recommend living on or off campus as a transfer student your first year?
Aren’t you required to live on campus the first year?
Live on campus if you can. It will be easier to make friends as you will be around the other students during non class time. You get to know people by spending time together which will be easier when you are close to your living place, or when hanging out in the common area, or even on your floor, etc. You will feel more a part of campus traditions and activities being right on campus. You will also get to know people that you then might want to move off campus with later.
