“We’d all like to believe that deciding on a school will be the end of all the stress of choosing a college. The application process is done, your acceptance letter comes, your deposit is down, and your classes are registered for. We imagine this will be nothing short of meeting our expectations, maybe even exceeding them. Imagine a little further: your first semester on campus, you love your classes, feel passionate about your major, make a ton of new and interesting friends, and participate in every aspect of the school’s community. Essentially, life is perfect! For a lot of college students, this is the case, but for the 39% of students attending their first four-year college who transfer, it’s far from their reality. Even more so, 37% of two-year college students feel the same after transferring schools, the only difference being that they know it’s coming.”
