Through the activities and services offered by TSS, I became comfortable and a confident transfer student. I connected with some amazing people who helped with my transition and success at BU. I am happy I sought help and stayed in ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ to complete my studies!

I transferred to ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ as a junior in Fall 2022. From mt first days on campus, programs like the Transfer Summit and the Transfer Cafes helped me to connect with other transfer students and form long lasting friendships. I will always consider my decision to transfer to ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ as one of the nest decisions I have made, and I am grateful to TSS for giving me so many opportunities to find a sense of belonging at ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ!
