What was the biggest challenge you encountered as a transfer college student and how did you overcome it? I began taking night classes at the University of Minnesota while working full-time. My employer helped with tuition (which was great) but the schedule was difficult to maintain. I stopped working full time for my final semester and this helped. However, it was a challenge never having time to participate in college life beyond attending classes.
What is one piece of advice you would give transfer college students? There are many paths and yours is as valid as others. You can do it!
