Generally speaking, it’s better to transfer and enroll in the fall semester.

1. If you are seeking financial aid and the school awards merit to transfers, most likely this will go to fall admits and there won’t be much left for spring admits.

2. Housing…new roommates for the fall term are the norm. If you go spring term, this could be problematic. Then again, if you live off campus that won’t matter.

3. Courses that run multiple semesters or quarters usually start the sequence in the fall term, not the spring term.
