Transfer

[lollapulizer]

I'm a Boston University freshman thinking about transferring to Goucher.  I've gathered from previous posts that the school treats transfers pretty well, but I was wondering how transferring affects housing?  Will I be placed in a crappy dorm because I'm a transfer?  Also, can anyone tell me about the education program?  At BU we have a school

I think as far as housing goes, they treat transfers pretty well. I transferred in the fall and they put me in DVC housing...which is incredibly nice. They don't have alot of room on campus because like most schools, they are rapidly expanding. The DVC has all you could ever want in an apt and all you have to pay is single room! My current apt has a fireplace and a ton of windows. The one I had last semester had a loft, fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and a balcony. My guess is this is where you would probably end up. It's about a 20 minute walk from campus and a 2 min drive.

I am a freshman too but not a transfer or a education major but let me try best.

Transfers tend to get put in the apartments but my English class was mostly made up of transfers that lived off campus and now they all live on campus because they wanted to be closer to the community. It is nice over there though.

From what I know about the education program is that if your doing elementary education you major in that but if you want to do secondary education you major in what you want and then by taking the education classes you'll get the teaching certificate.

Also if your thinking about transferring save your previous course work and all of your syllabus. Sometimes not all credits transfer and those help convince the board to give them to you.
