<p>Daniel: Don’t take that as “I will be treated with hostility”. Take it more as treated with indifference. Keep in mind that over say 1-2 years some intense cliques or friendships can form, and they can become rigid (I mean, we went through several bonding experiences starting at freshman orientation). I personally think Emory students care less (they don’t view you as a person who does not deserve to be here and transfers often fit right in cause no one cares at all.) if you are a transfer, they just don’t know you in any fashion, so you are treated as if you are just another Emory student they don’t know. After a certain point, many care less about making new friends for some reason. Fortunately, there are lots of people who do want to, so the social life of a transfer is not destined to suck the first semester.</p>
