My D transfered to Wes four years ago. It went very well for her. The transfers have a whole week of orientation. There were about 60, so they shared the expereince together and became very close. About half of her very good friends by the time she graduated were transfers, and half weren’t. I can’t tell you about the feel of life there except from what she said, but she had a fabulous time–became very active in many ECs, and really liked her classes. She found registering and getting into necessary classes to be a real pain, though pulling the transfer card helped for about the first year or two. campus life seems to be very eclectic; many different groups with different interests, much tolerance for differences. Not as monolithic as often portrayed. I know that above all, she considered it a fun place to be, and feels she got an excellent education. Never regretted transfering for a second.
