<p>I have friends whose kids have transferred from SBU to Geneseo, NYU and Cornell (that one was a deferred admission to a specific program) within the past couple of years.</p>
<p>The main thing I would say is that you should either take gen ed classes that will travel anywhere or if you have a specific transfer school in mind, contact them and find out which courses they are looking for.</p>
<p>My D has friends at Bing who love it.</p>
<p>If you’re definitely set on going elsewhere, I would go the SBU route if I were you. Actually, if you live out there, look in to Suffolk CC’s honors programs - it has an employee whose only job (or so I am told) is to help honor students find schools to transfer to and try to help them get as many scholarships as possible. It’s a lot cheaper than SBU and, frankly, nobody cares where you spent your first year or two as long as you get the 4 year degree…</p>
