Transferring

If you aren't happy at your school, don't be afraid to consider transferring. There is no reason why you should be miserable at school. College should be one of the greatest experiences of your life. If you are having problems make sure you talk to someone. Let someone else know how you are feeling and confront what is bothering you. If you can't stand your roommate, and talking to him or her about the problem hasn't helped, you don't need to transfer to another school to be happy; just talk to housing services and request to be placed with someone else. Some problems can be fixed, but there are some that can only be fixed by transferring to another school.

Here are some common reasons for transferring:

• Don't feel like you fit in and don't like the students there.
• School is too challenging or not challenging enough.
• Don't like the professors.
• School doesn't have your desired major or program.
• Don't like the weather.
• Need to be close to home due to an illness or needs of a family member.
