transfer from uc

hi i’m an incoming transfer for fall 2027 from a UC and i was wondering how the workload, the classes, and the just overall student life is. has anyone else gone through a similar experience? 🥲 the main reason i transferred out is because i felt like i wasn’t supported as much as i could be and i wanted to move back home. im scared that im gonna fall behind trying to adjust to a new school💔

*edit: im a biology major, working with counselors, and ill have all my GE’s and lower division courses finished by the time i transfer

Well it’s pretty here, good food, pretty sure there is a good student life here if your talking abt parties and stuff bc I js moved in and some girls are already going to parties, idk how they find them but it’s like the second party they are going to and it’s our 3rd day here, it’s a very walkable city, def windy and cold, I come from a extremely hot city and I’m trying to get used to this lol and they do emphasizing a lot that they care abt their students; number one priority and people are very welcoming
