14. STUDENT TESTIMONIALS Talking with my college was really nice!
The welcome day was great! Before the welcome day I only had taken one class at main campus but I really didn't know the campus that well. But after the welcome day I feel like I know the campus very now and will have no troubles come the first day. Thank you for this program and I hope that it continues for future bearcat students.
Talking with my college was really nice!
The opportunity to meet other students who transferred like me, which made making friends so simple since we all already had something in common.
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
I most enjoyed the tour of camps. It helped to see a visual of the campus in person and to get a feel for where all my classes and parking will be.
I really liked how I wasn't the only student transferring. I was worried that there wouldn't be a lot of students in my shoes.
I felt like this really helped me out and made me feel like a Bearcat before I started my Fall semester!
I had questions about parking, tuition payment plans, blackboard and some other things and without having to ask them, they were answered by either the staff or by the resource guide.
