I haven't been in school for about 7 years…. It feels great to be learning and growing academically again. Teachers are very accessible, and genuinely care about my academic success.

The faculty have made the transition as smooth as possible and made me feel comfortable to ask for help if I need it. This has been a great experience so far and I am grateful to be a part of such a wonderful university.

The transfer orientation process was really exciting. During this time, I got to meet other transfer students. It was great knowing that there were students just like me who would be attending the Newark campus.
