Prestigious colleges that are most welcoming/accommodating to transfer students

I’ve seen a lot of schools transfer acceptance rates but I’m more interested in learning which schools have strong programs and resources for transfer students. Things like transfer orientation programs, transfer housing and/or overall support for these students (as well as being generally welcoming).

Vanderbilt University has a well developed transfer program. They take a relatively large number of transfers which provides good opportunities to meet fellow transfers. They also provide transfers with on campus housing.

Northwestern, similar to the Vandy points above.

Cornell, but they have an inflated number of transfer students because of their guaranteed transfer option.

Which is no longer guaranteed.
