What was the biggest challenge you encountered as a transfer college student and how did you overcome it? I was a first-generation, non-traditional student and didn't know where to go when I had questions. I had an awesome advisor who helped me navigate the system until I could figure it out.
What is one piece of advice you would give transfer college students? Ask your faculty questions and tell them what's going on if there is an issue. If they don't know, they can't help you.
