Has anyone here transferred from their college? I going to transfer from my University to a community college for this semester. And plan on transferring back to the university fall semester . Anyone here ever done that ?

yikes sounds stressful

I've thought about it but I don't think it would work for me tbh. Make sure most of your credits transfer over so you don't have to repeat any classes.

What's a junior college? Why do you want to leave for only one semester?

Be careful if you're planning on grad school of any sort, transferring more than once can look bad...

Junior Colleges are 2 year colleges.

Transferring because i'm getting a bit stressed at the university and want to wind down for bit rather then take off for a whole semester. Tho I plan on enrolling for spring and summer semester taking a bunch of easy classes. Plus the college is a 5 min drive from home

Is this your first year? It might be easier (and cheaper) to transfer to the community college and finish up all your GE's there, then transfer back to the university as a junior.

Mess that what I ment I could not find the word to save my life . I'm a sophomore I plan to finish up my basic classes so I can finally start my major when I go back. Luckily my classes are easy and I can start work again while home.

That's exactly what I'm doing! It wasn't too difficult and I think it's a good idea for the most part!

I'm currently in the process of gathering recommendations and finishing my Common App.

I hope to transfer from a small state school to UPenn, wish me luck.

I plan to do this

Thank you!

I transferred. Wasn't really that stress-inducing tbh.

I went from Penn State to a small school in PA.

I went from Community College to University just last semester. The grades I'm getting at my University are actually better than my average from my CC, watch out, might not be as easy as you think.

On the other hand, I think I'm trying harder here + I don't have to worry about loud annoying siblings to disturb my studies 24/7.

My freshman year I transferred from a Liberal Arts college to a university because the university was half the cost. It was the best decision I've ever made. But the process of transferring was a hassle.

I did community college and than a 4 year university

I've wanted to transferred since I hate my school but it seems so stressful and financial aid is impossible. Plus studying abroad would have been impossible to do at my new school and I'm already a junior so it wasn't worth it.

I've briefly considered it but I don't think I personally will. Seems stressful though, but I have a lot of friends who've transferred recently.

Girl I really don't think it works like that. Take it from someone who is about to be a two-time transfer student - college is college. The courses are not really much easier unless you're coming from like a very prestigious, Ivy League-like university, or you're purposely choosing to get the easiest of your core classes out of the way. The biggest decrease in pressure that comes with transferring to a community school is that you're living at home. Therefore, you still have all the comforts and conveniences of your home and neighborhood while not having the added stresses of roommates and campus life. The problem is that things get a lot more boring and it becomes more difficult to have a social life. Make sure you've really thought this through - feeling a bit stressed and wanting a break is not a reason to pick up and transfer schools. Have you thought about staying at your university but simply forming an easier schedule for yourself next semester?
