Transfering college

LegacyUser

I'm hoping to transfer into trinity new year , it will either be second or third year I'm not sure yet.

I'm a little scared about transfering into a course which has been half completed already. What scares me the most is the fact I might not be able to make friends or fit in like a first year, as everyone knows clicks are made in first year. In my pervious college which is small in numbers. I never wanted to be there so I never really made any friends but I have friends from just being there every day.

Are trinity people very snobby when it comes to outsiders, A girl transfered into my course this year and it looked like she has not made many friends, and is regarded as an outsider to us all.People go who is that girl

I wont be living on campus either.

If anyone has had the same experience could you help me out please?

hi

i go to trinity and haven't found people snobby - but there's good and bad everywhere you go right? don't worry about making friends either - i'm in my final year and i'm still making new friends because my course means taking various subjects with people from different years and doing group work.

on a side note - i think you can only transfer when you're in your first year?
but if you do transfer you'll be fine. i found the people lovely.

I was in a similar situation and it worked out better than I could have wished for! I knew not a single person, and I was ultimately forced to step out of any comfort zones and make friends - it was a fantastic experience, and I think in bigger colleges the clique element is very different because classes alone are so much bigger and with modularization, often a lot of people are "alone" in classes. Best of luck!

I went through the same thing, transfered in a degree course half ways though. There was a lot of talk at the time about hassle with transferes etc but in the end it was a non event. WE all got on fine.


In fact I like one of the orginial class so much I married her.

Thanks for the replies.

if anyone else has any experience of this could they throw it out there too.

If I got involved in the sports I was interested in I would probably meet people

Also have you meet more people in class or in societys in college ??
