Thanks so much for your response. Your suggestions are really helpful. He is a very laid back, easy to get along with and respectful kid, so if he does decide to transfer, I know he will get along with his apartment mates. He was just hoping for a better match initially.

Regarding kids not speaking English, I questioned him too, and he said many of the kids at orientation had very limited English speaking skills and perhaps they could write English better than they could speak it, which would account for how they could get accepted. Not a big point either way, in fact the diversity at USC is a major selling point for him, he just didn’t run into many kids transferring into Marshall at orientation that he found a connection with.
I appreciate your thoughts and agree. Thanks!
