Hello

I am planning on transferring soon and have even started applying to some schools. I have no idea what to expect since this is my first time transferring. I feel a bit scared especially because I am a “non-traditional” student. I am not even sure if I would be allowed to join certain organizations because of my age (this has happened to me where I was) or if I wanted to join a sorority then it would be awkward. Anyways, I have started some applications for schools. Some still are taking fall applications and some are taking spring applications.

I was wondering if it matters which term one transfers into? I would prefer to transfer asap instead of waiting until after the spring l so that I won’t be too far behind. I know that there are things like orientation in the fall as well as some courses that are possibly only offered in the fall. In the Spring I know that there are fewer applicants. Would it be better to apply for the Spring or Fall? Let me know I would also appreciate it if y’all gave me some tips about transferring and adjusting to a new school. Thank you!
