College Research
Before choosing a transfer institution, it is important to do a thorough research of the schools you are considering to find the best fit for you. The goal is to choose the college which is most likely to prepare you to be happy and successful. One of the most valuable things you can do in choosing a transfer institution is to visit the campuses you are considering prior to committing to enrollment. Check the Transfer Center for university tours and preview days.
