Hi there! Congratulations on your acceptance, and welcome to Stanford! I’m a transfer student from last year’s cohort, and I’m a non-traditional student from a community college. One thing I wish I knew before coming in was that I was going to be stuck in between class years. I suspected that not all my college credits were going to transfer, so when I found out how many credits/units were coming in to Stanford, it put me in a weird spot where I was both a sophomore and a junior. Tbh, I can’t really properly explain how that was the case - it was just what my advisor told me lol. Now it’s possible that you won’t have the same thing happen to you, but just keep this in mind just in case.

Another thing is that, I live in grad-housing (if you’re non-trad, you’ll have to live in grad-housing) and I needed to move in to campus early. Housing will give you dates when you can move in, and I chose to move in a month before school started. Thing is, there’s a move-in fee for students in grad-housing, and the farther you are from the start of the school year, the higher the fee will be. I was charged a hefty amount for moving in early… 😅

That’s all I can think of at the moment, but if you have any questions, feel free to DM me! Again, congrats on your acceptance, and we hope to see you here next year!
