What was the biggest challenge you encountered as a transfer college student and how did you overcome it? Adapting to the school's academic rigor. I overcame that challenge by making friends and getting acquainted with their study habits, how they manage the course load and to become more aware of the new academic environment.
What is one piece of advice you would give transfer college students? Meet with advisor's at the new school in advance so you will know what credits will transfer and what is still needed by you before completing that transfer.
