<p>DunninLA: As a transfer student, I disagree with the transferring suggestion. I feel like I’d be in a much better position had I been here as a freshman because of:
a) more opportunities to meet professors
b) more opportunities to get involved in research
c) more opportunities for internships
d) a more rigorous education in the courses that really matter (the weeders)</p>
<p>Now, I transferred from another UC so my educational experience is different (and probably a bit more rigorous and better) than the average JC transfer, but I feel like the benefits of being at UCLA from freshman year outweigh the con of a potentially lower GPA.</p>
