omg I transferred to USC from a CC as well! I seriously felt like that my whole first semester there! thank you for sharing this! super accurate and relatable :))

As a transfer student who did 3 years at CC this painfully relates to my experience at university.

FACTS. I spent 3 years at CC, when I get to ucsd there’s gonna be freshman who already interned at Facebook lmaooo

When I transferred to a CSU, all I said was, "This is the same damn thing they teach at the JC, but for 4 times the price."

This happened to me transferring from a City College to a Prestigious University ....A world of a I went from being surrounded by unmotivated-bored students hanging out in class to super-prodigies already working on projects at the industry level

This is specially true in a CS major. Not many know that most freshman cs majors already know how to code prior to taking their first class. I mean you can catch up if u don’t have prior experience but it can be intimidating if your classmates are a mile ahead.

I’m transferring this fall and I’m so excited! Saved lots of money and get to have an awesome experience in both colleges I’ve attended till now and in the future! You do what you know is right for you and your education and future!! Good luck everyone 🎉

Lmao I’m transferring to a “top 10” uni from community college. Wish me luck with that imposter syndrome ToT and good luck to everyone else

So I transferred in high school, I transferred in college, and now I plan to transfer in law school. I am a social person so I just talked to people and joined extracurriculars and sports teams and started making friends. Tbh transferring is scary, but you have your goals and so just work hard to accomplish those, write down deadlines and dates for assignments and just keep in mind what you are working towards. It's worth it at the end 😅😂

ok, so this is definitely relatable but at my cc, i remember seeing that kid that knows everything on the first day and after getting over my initial admiration (and jealousy) i started studying what he did and now i became that kid and it’s surprising to me how quickly you lose that imposter syndrome when you can become THAT kid

[zeeunveil]

Second year into my small town college and It’s been so hard to connect with anyone. I think the problem is my school also I’m the only Asian in my classes. It’s starting to dwell on me. I’m thinking of transferring somewhere more diverse in culture. I grew up in the city before and I never had trouble making friends

[Wu-myth]

Stop scaring me...I THOUGHT I DID THE RIGHT

[CromwellEdonis]

Hahahaha. Quadratic Formula is like the basics of algebra. It’s a must learn for the STEM strand. It doesn’t take much effort to learn it anyway. 😅

[iloveyou-tosy]

i know microsoft is going to love having you LMAO 😭

[Princessm]

This is why I’m so glad I go to a satellite campus. Look up the universities at shady grove to learn more. More states should have these if they don’t already

[DanielMartinez-fzbo]

Dawg I'm scared went from being in CC for liberal arts because I didn't know wtf I want to do for 3 years to transferring to Texas state for public administration

[PennyEvolus]

just some advice if your in uni and ur prof asks what the quadratic formula is and you dont know leave just leave

[lightlove]

"that kid who knows everything on the first day of class" 😂
*Imposter syndrome kicking in*

Phew. Thought that was just me.

But seriously who the fawk knows everything about Strength of Materials on the first day without retredding?! MAN that chic scarred me🙄 Haha

[NoName]

Girl if you don’t know the quadratic formula by junior year idk what to say. We literally have to take 4+ calculus courses you have no excuse.
