Transfer: What next? (Transfer - mini session) [virtual]

Today's mini session was insightful and full of small but important tidbits. One essential piece of information I would be using in the future is the website "CollegeTuitionCompare" to compare the cost of attendance between potential schools. During the session, I was surprised by the drastic cost difference between community college and public universities. According to the slide show, tuition ranges from roughly 11k to 42k, which is significantly higher than PGCC.

I gained a lot of new information but I would like to learn more about how I can personally have a better plan once I transfer out.

A mini session where I learned a little bit more about transferring and how I go about it to leave PGCC with nothing attached that could follow me. I already had an idea of what to do and this mini session clarified it for me.

This Transfer session provided a lot of important reminders for the transfer process. Mr. Cruz told us about a very useful website that can be used to compare the costs of different colleges. I was also able to see how UMBC's cost of attendance has changed over the years, as well as how much aid they tend to give on average and demographic information. Additionally, he reminded us of FAFSA and graduation commencement deadlines and some important questions to ask transfer advisors.

It was beneficial and informative; I learned some valuable tips when applying for scholarships.

The transfer mini session was very informative. I am more equipped if I decide to transfer to a 4-year University. The most important thing I learned is to take care of all my outstanding financial obligations, apply on time for graduation, and speak to my advisor to ensure I have completed all the required classes to graduate. The presenter (Elio Cruz) covered several topics, including financial aid, scholarships, and Pell grants, and compared the tuition costs between several universities in MD.

This session gave me some great sources to compare costs of university. It also gave me some questions for transfer counseling that I hadn't thought of before.
