“What’s wrong with transferring?” Jay Mathews of The Washington Post asks this question of a survey completed by WiseChoice.  The survey, which included over 800 college freshmen nationwide, found that 33% were already thinking about transferring.  That seems like quite a large percentage to WiseChoice, especially just a few months into the first semester of college.  WiseChoice believes that if students took more time to research their selected schools before applying, many could eliminate transferring and instead, find college to be a rewarding experience right from the start. (Not to mention, avoiding the headaches and costs associated with transferring.)

However, Mr. Mathews argues that transferring to another college is part of the maturation process, “trying something and seeing if it works, then moving on if it doesn’t.”

So, what do others have to say about transferring? Read real life examples from those who transferred colleges and the situations they encountered.
