"The thought of being both an upperclassman and the “new kid” was pretty intimidating since I transferred to KU as a junior. As soon as I stepped foot on campus, all my fears went away, and I knew I was home. The Transfer Community at KU really helps connect new transfers with other students."
“Kutztown University was the second school I transferred to, and I should’ve started here in the first place. As a first-generation college student, I have been lucky to have support from TRIO Student Services. I was able to gain a mentor, succeed in my classes after struggling online, and balance my responsibilities."
Kutztown University is recognized as a top transfer institution by Phi Theta Kappa!
