To all transfer students out there….you’re not alone! Embrace being a newbie to USC and just do you. I was once in your position as a transfer student myself and I can happily say I’ve found my place of belonging in this great school. It didn’t happen overnight — it was certainly a process that lasted months — but it was an experience that personally challenged me. Enjoy the ride and get out there and make some friends!

The Undergraduate Student Government hosted an event about a week ago where transfer students voiced their personal perils of being the new kids on the block. The main purpose of this event was for USG to create programs to ease the transfer experience based on what was said at the event. Regrettably, I had class during that time, but I still wanted to share my journey as a fellow transfer student myself to show that you can find your groove even if you did have a late start.
