"After attending a four-year university with large classes, I decided to transfer. UD has a tighter-knit feel to it in comparison to my previous school, which was another factor that pushed me to transfer. I wanted something completely different, and UD provided that for me."

"I decided to transfer because I loved being in Florida, but didn’t like the school. The best part of my transfer experience was after a month at UD, I felt like I belonged somewhere. I felt like advisors, professors, and students were all willing to lend a helping hand whenever they could. It was such a nice change from my last school."

"After being in Maryland for so long, I decided to attend a school out-of-state, which would provide a totally new experience for me. UD is known for its sense of community, and early on I was able to see why. People welcomed me with open arms and made me feel comfortable right away. The best part of my transfer experience was being able to experience first-hand the hospitable and communal culture of UD."

"I left my first university because I didn’t feel like I was learning anything new in my classes, and I didn’t feel like I was part of a community there. The best part of the transferring was that at UD, I was able to talk to advisors to professors one-on-one."
