I’m a first year college student at a local university. I have a foreign name that I want to change. I’ve already changed my name once to match my naturalization certificate when I applied to college a year ago. Is it a bad idea to change your name after just one year? And will changing my legal name affect my FAFSA application process? I’m also planning to transfer to another college for next year. so when would be the best time to change my legal name?
What is the rush. Change your name before your last term in college…so,that your diploma name matches your new name. But at that point, it would matter for financial aid or admission purposes.
I heard from that having an easy name will give you more chance at landing jobs
