In this episode, we discuss the things to look for in deciding where to go. Bottom line- you need to have a lot of conversations and quiet time to reflect on what is best for you! Here are some things to consider and there are more in the PDF available at Transferman.org

Condensed Transfer College Checklist

• 1. Review your financial aid package with an advisor and aim to keep debt under $10,000.

• 2. Confirm you were admitted into the major you want.

• 3. Visit the campus – check weekend life and overall feel.

• 4. Compare in-state vs. out-of-state costs and opportunities.

• 5. Evaluate extracurriculars, transfer support services, and clubs.

• 6. Consider personal growth – will this school push you outside your comfort zone?

• 7. Check location for career opportunities in your field (e.g., LA for film, Silicon Valley for tech).

• 8. Talk with family and advisors – but remember this is *your* decision.

• 9. Take time for reflection or prayer – trust your gut feeling.

• 10. Confirm your SIR by the deadline (May 1 or June 1) and opt in to waitlists if desired.
