How is Ramapo College for transfer students?

I'm considering transferring to Ramapo College of New Jersey and want to know about the experience of transfer students there. What's the social life like, and are there good resources for transfer students?

Ramapo College of New Jersey has a good reputation among transfer students. They've established supports specifically for transfer students, which help to smoothen their transition in.

Academically, they offer several resources to help you adjust. The Advising Center is particularly helpful, guiding transfer students in class selection, understanding the school’s requirements, and setting up a course of study that ensures they graduate on time. They also have a transfer articulation agreement with many community colleges, which can make the transfer of credits easier.

The social aspect of transferring can always be challenging as you're essentially starting anew. However, most transfer students find the Ramapo community inclusive and welcoming. They have student organizations where you can meet likeminded peers, such as clubs, sports, and intramurals which can be great avenues to make friends and get involved.

In terms of housing, they have guaranteed housing for transfer students, which can be a nice way to become immersed in the college experience, make friends and engage in campus life.

Overall, Ramapo College works hard to make transfer students feel welcome and supported in their new environment and the majority of transfer students report having a positive experience. Nevertheless, everyone's experiences can vary, and it can be beneficial to reach out to current transfer students or alumni to get as many perspectives as possible.
