And just saying, I considered transferring out of Cal my first semester but I asked myself “Why do I want to transfer?” My answer was prestige…

At first, I convinced myself to transfer because I found Cal too “easy.” But, I realized that I was just holding myself back with the lower division courses and I took some upper division and graduate courses my first year and I was pleasantly surprised.

Just saying, I had that feeling too but it’s completely gone. I thought I “really needed” to transfer but I did not actually need to. I don’t know what situation you are in, but if the reason you are transferring is academic, keep in mind that UCSB is a very good school and it has a very strong graduate program in certain fields.

Anyway, if you have a good reason and keep your GPA up, I see no difficulty in you transferring ^_^.
