I'm planning to transfer from Bellevue College to Washington State University. Can anyone share their experiences or advice on making this transition? I'm particularly curious about credit transfer and housing options as I plan my move.
Transferring from a community college to a 4-year university can be a really exciting next step! As you transition from Bellevue College to Washington State University, you'll want to thoroughly research WSU's transfer credit policies. Usually, most Washington community college courses are transferable to WSU since they have a direct transfer agreement. Your academic counselor at Bellevue College should be able to help with this.
If you could get your Associate's degree at Bellevue before you transfer, that would be even better. Many universities value students who've completed their associate degrees, and you can transfer as a junior in standing. Just make sure you’ve completed all prerequisites for your intended major at WSU.
In terms of housing, WSU offers several options for on-campus and off-campus living. You could check out their residence halls (commonly known as dorms), they have a range of layout styles from single to quad rooms. WSU also offers apartment-style housing for sophomores and above. You could also explore off-campus housing options in Pullman, the town where WSU is located. Start searching early and check out the WSU housing office website or local realty sites for the best options!
