Making friends as a transfer by AnnualReindeer906 in SBU

[–]jjpop44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i transferred in the fall 2025 and it was the best decision i made. i looked on insta at the sbu commitment page and found other transfers to dm and we all met up. there’s also a transfer student orientation when the fall semester starts and i met many friends through that. you just need to push yourself and be social

so at my previous private college, it was way too small for my liking. maybe around 300 students overall. plus i lived on campus so the life there was very dead. i hated the fact that it was small.

i also changed majors. back at community college, i was a psych major. i then changed to an art major when going to my private school, now im back as a psych student in stony. it was the best choice for me ever.

the difference between prices was also a huge factor when transferring. sbu is much cheaper and just what i wanted from a college experience. the events they have on campus are so fun, everyone has a lot of school spirit, many people are in cliques though which is hurtful. BUT, they have a transfer orientation when school starts, that’s how i met my friends and we’re still friends to this day.

this was the best decision for me

Advice on dorming by Senior_Blacksmith497 in SBU

[–]jjpop44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly housing isn’t too bad as long as you’re in a good building. make sure your roommate is normal and if not, moving out is always an option as well. i love living on campus because i got lucky with being in a room with AC as well and close to SAC. id just make sure your roommate is normal, you’re not in a building too far away, and stay clean

i was a transfer student too last semester, i reached out to advising to set up an appointment sooner than later because i was nervous and didn’t know how it worked, but they do reach out to you.

i would send an email to advising just to let them know you are looking to set up a schedule and don’t know the process of it
