Coming into college as a transfer student is not always an easy transition. It can be a struggle to acclimate to the new environment, meet new people, and make new friends. Starting at a new school can be very overwhelming and can cause a lot of anxiety. 转入新濠天地app新濠天地app的学生也不例外. They too have anxiety coming in and can feel overwhelmed once they are here.
转移 students may feel a lot of anxiety because they wonder whether their credits will transfer and if they will have to start over in many of their classes. 蒂莫西·帕克 是新濠天地app新濠天地app的转学专家 招生 部门, and he says that “it is common for transfer students in the admissions process to ask their counselor how many credits will or will not transfer. This question in some ways can be difficult to answer because it is dependent upon what major they are interested in. So, if a transfer student is not in contact with their college of interest in the beginning of their college search, then it is common for the transfer student to be sometimes surprised at what credits will or will not transfer.他建议学生使用 转移ology because it “is a great tool students can access that will allow them the opportunity to enter in their course on that site and depending on the college or university we might have an equivalent match already for the student.” Many students may feel anxiety about transferring credits to another school, but admissions counselors can be a great resource to help students have a clear understanding of the credit transfer process.
另一场斗争. Parker identifies is that it can be difficult for transfer students to acclimate to an entirely new campus. He says, “转移ring to another college for some transfer students can take time to adjust to. For some transfer students they might not have planned to transfer. 因此, they are in a new environment thinking about all the new adjustments that are going to happen. 这些调整可能包括结识新朋友, 熟悉校园, 和不同的教授见面.转学需要认识新同学和新教授, 学习校规校规, 还有适应新校园. The best resource for overcoming these struggles is for students to reach out to their admissions counselor and a faculty member within their major. Mr. Parker says that “I have seen firsthand how the 谈话 with the faculty member can be so beneficial to the student.” At 新濠天地app大学 the faculty members are dedicated to providing resources and encouragement for their students, so transfer students should reach out to their admissions counselors and professors for guidance in adjusting to their new environment.
