Georgia Highlands College transfer experiences?

I'm considering transferring to Georgia Highlands College next year and would love to hear from anyone who's done it. What should I expect in terms of the application process, class sizes, and campus life as a transfer student?

Answer: Transferring to a new school, like Georgia Highlands College, can indeed be a big step! Here are a few things you can expect based on general knowledge:

1. Application Process: You'll need to submit an application, your transcripts from all previously attended colleges, an immunization form, and possibly a verification of lawful presence. The application can typically be completed online. Georgia Highlands College has a rolling admission policy, so you can apply at any time, although you should submit your application at least four weeks before the term you wish to start to have the best chance of getting into the classes you want.

2. Class Sizes: Georgia Highlands College is known for its small class sizes. The student to faculty ratio is quite low compared to larger universities, which can provide a more personalized learning experience and better opportunities for students to engage with professors.

3. Campus Life: As a transfer student, your experience with campus life may vary. It can require a bit more effort to get involved since you may be coming in mid-year, or at a point where many students have already established their friend groups. But fear not! Make an effort to join clubs, attend campus events, and reach out to other students in your classes to meet people and build a community on campus.

Lastly, always keep in mind that each student’s experience can differ based on various factors. I encourage you to reach out to Georgia Highlands College directly or speak people who've studied there, for more personalized insights. Best of luck with your potential move!
