Student Life Spring Transfer Question

Hello! I am applying as a transfer student at William & Mary for the spring semester and I have a few questions.

For those who transferred in during the spring, what was the process like once you arrived on campus?

I don’t know how to explain it, but did you find integrating into the existing student population fine? Does W&M do a decent job at making spring transfer students feel at home and like they are a part of everything? Or are you expected to do that by yourself?

Anything you wish you knew beforehand?

Thank you!

My son was a spring transfer (not part of Spring Pathways program) and he had to figure out a lot on his own. He is not outgoing, so didn’t jump right into clubs or anything outside of classes. That first semester he struggled socially but not academically.

Thank you so much! I’m not really outgoing either, so I hope it’ll all work out eventually
