<p>I’m a little surprised by the advice that you shouldn’t transfer from private to public, have never heard that before. We have friends whose son transferred from HPU to Virginia Tech and is doing great … also another friend who transferred to Chapel Hill from Ithaca College which is a private school in NY state, also doing well. out of curiosity I just looked at HPU’s stats and the 6 year graduation rate is only 56 percent, so it seems like an awful lot of students don’t finish up there …</p>
