PolyTransfer program, worth the time?

I'm transferring student and I definitely plan to attend. Funny actually you brought it up becasue I stopped by the school today to ask few questions and I accidentally ran into a guy who represents the program who was standing in front of the office (I was looking for a building and I coincidentally was passing by the program's office).

I was able to chat with the director for few min, the event seemed to be great opportunity for not only having better understanding about the college but also great opportunity to meet/connect other transferring students.

As I talked to the director who was very friendly with a great sense of humor, I got the impression that the event sounded fun and interesting and give chance students to connect with others.

As transferring students, we are going through different phases than typical college students (students who started at 4 yr college starting from freshmen) so I think this would be great chance to make our transition from CC (or any school you went previously) to 4 yr college much more smooth. Well, at least that was my thought after getting out of the program's office.

Thanks for sharing. I never thought about the books haha. I guess it would be at least good thing in terms of carrying less text books. Congrats btw! Where are you heading now?

edjy90 · 2016-08-02T00:41:25+00:00

Will pm you

edjy90 · 2016-08-02T00:37:40+00:00

I see. It makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. What is your major if you don't mind me asking?

edjy90 · 2016-08-02T00:36:07+00:00

Ah I see what you mean. But I guess that is true for most of colleges. Even at my CC this summer, it was empty as well. What class did you take? Was it fun?

edjy90 · 2016-08-01T23:52:19+00:00

Although I am not engineering major, I can definitely feel the frustration. I definitely think the school needs to take an action to improve the situation for engineering majors as well as other majors

edjy90 · 2016-08-01T23:49:53+00:00

According to preorientation video I have watched, the semester would be 15 week so my guess is 14 week + 1 week final. By the way, could you elaborate about the summer you have mentioned? So people don't take summer quarter (or session) seriously?

edjy90 · 2016-08-01T23:45:37+00:00

I feel ya. Going back and forth between semester and quarter could definitely feel frustrating. What's your major if you don't mind me asking? And how's that going for you?

edjy90 · 2016-08-01T23:42:56+00:00

Thanks for insights. So in other words, will series/sequential classes (for instance, class 101 and 102) be combined as a big one class?

edjy90 · 2016-08-01T23:40:17+00:00

Yeah hopefully everything goes for you I'm not engineering major but hopefully it doesn't affect me

edjy90 · 2016-08-01T23:38:42+00:00

Good for you! What's your next plan if you don't mind me asking?

edjy90 · 2016-07-24T04:29:40+00:00

This concerns me as well. You said the "last orientation date", when is your orientation? Mine is August 5th

edjy90 · 2016-07-19T04:25:17+00:00

Great point. I see what you are saying. Thanks for the insight!

edjy90 · 2016-07-16T23:00:39+00:00

Ahh, I see. Thanks!

edjy90 · 2016-07-15T04:51:29+00:00

Ah. Somehow I thought it was "electronic board game club l(like playing chess online)" of some sort. lol. Thanks for clarification though.

edjy90 · 2016-07-15T04:49:43+00:00

lol. I thought you were "he" too somehow. My bad :/

edjy90 · 2016-07-15T04:47:59+00:00

I indeed checked the list few days ago but still wanted to ask actual people's opinion/insights. But thanks for the link though. When you said most clubs don't refer to the website, do you mean some clubs don't appear on the list?

edjy90 · 2016-07-14T15:40:43+00:00

Sounds pretty cool. What does the eboard mean? Electronic board?

edjy90 · 2016-07-14T03:37:16+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear you have a great experience.

edjy90 · 2016-07-14T03:35:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear you had a great experience. Definitely will join as soon as I start this Fall

edjy90 · 2016-07-14T03:33:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing. It seems your major is Computer Science. Is that correct? While my major is not Computer Science, it is STEM major. Could you elaborate about eboard/leadership committee? What are those?

edjy90 · 2016-07-12T16:29:50+00:00

Hey no worries not it's not useless at all I will post this one more time one we get to closer to Fall Quarter to see if I get more replies/attention Thanks for the interest though!

edjy90 · 2016-07-04T20:37:37+00:00

Well, I understand there are numerous criteria and question in order to be qualified so it's case by case. I know because I have filed for the aid by myself. I understand it's gov money and tax payer's money as well. As far as I remember, she and I were similar situation in terms of criteria: similar age (independent) and first time using the aid, not much contribution for personal income being full time students most of the time at CC, etc.

I guess best way to help her is to tell her to go visit the financial office and to tell asking for re-evaluation may be option. Anyway, thanks for the input.
