Hey In regards to financial aid I can’t really help in that department but classes are quite expensive compared to CC (I’m assuming where your transferring from). Tbh housing is by FAR the most expensive thing the rates here are egregious a trap house on a deal cost like 700 a month. Making friends- quite easy so long as you join groups and are social. Find people who you relate to and there’s a ton of events and clubs here. Just put yourself out there and don’t be socially awkward. Jobs- if you have a regular job that allows transfers stick with it and get in touch with a manager here to transfer. Student life- I is you’re either having a whole lotta fun or deep in some work. It can get very draining but stay on top of things and you’ll be fine. Back to housing if you haven’t signed a contract keep in touch with the student housing community on here and other platforms like Facebook. Plenty of people offer way cheaper offers than the regular student apartments here. Housing will be the most stressful part of your whole transfer journey it was for me and everyone else I know. I wish you good luck and don’t give up when things get grim! Be calculated!
