- People are really excited to meet and befriend transfers! 在进入校园之前, 我想我必须非常努力地去认识并向新朋友介绍自己, 一直以来, 希望能交到新朋友. But what I found instead was that more often, others would realize that I was new or that we hadn't met before, and they would approach or introduce themselves first!
- Transferring to Westmont was the best decision I made, and I am so glad that Westmont is my college, 还有我的家. Each transfer has a specific reason(s) for transferring, (and I'm always open to sharing about those reasons!), but all transfer students share the desire to find the school that's best for them, 他们觉得自己属于哪里.
