While a post from a transfer student at UIUC would be great, I welcome others too. About a year ago I was getting ready to go to UofI but found out that I wouldn’t have enough funds to afford all four years. So I started out at my local CC sigh

I still have another year to go at the CC, sadly. The social life here is practically nothing. I believe the average age of a student here is around 27. I hate how dumb some of the classes are and then I start bringing myself down to that level.

I can’t wait for UofI, it can’t come soon enough. But how is life as a transfer student? Is it a bit awkward being one of the few people your age who doesn’t really know many people? Do you believe lasting friendships can be formed pretty well over two short years compared to most of the population’s four years?
