Stonehill College transfer open house experience?

Has anyone attended a Stonehill College transfer open house? I'm considering going to their next one and would love to hear what to expect or if it was helpful for making a decision.

Attending an open house event, whether as a prospective freshman or a transfer student, is a great way to get a sense of a college's atmosphere, culture, academic offerings, and student services. Though I haven't personally attended a Stonehill College transfer open house, from working in admissions I can tell you what typically happens at such events.

Firstly, the event will likely begin with a presentation from the admissions department specifically tailored for transfer students. This will be an invaluable source of information about the application process, transfer of credits, admission requirements, and more.

You'll also have the chance to learn about the academic departments or programs that interest you. Often there will be faculty, staff, or current students available to speak about their experiences, course requirements, and opportunities in a given major or minor.

A campus tour is usually part of the offering as well. This is a great opportunity to see the campus facilities -- classrooms, libraries, sports amenities, dorms, dining facilities etc., and to gauge if you could see yourself studying there.

Lastly, you will have the opportunity to engage with current students and staff during breakout sessions or panel discussions. This is a great opportunity to ask questions related to housing, student life, clubs and activities, and support services for transfer students.

If the open house is well organized and attended, it can be a catalyst for your transfer decision. As always, the more questions you ask, the better insight you'll have about the institution, so don't be shy! Ask every question that comes to mind and fully engage in the event. Good luck!
