Decisions, Decisions

Congratulations to the newly admitted transfer students! I remember how incredibly excited I was when I got my admissions decision just a year ago, and I hope you are enjoying that feeling as well. Welcome to the Tribe, and welcome home.

Now that you have a decision to make, what do you do? I know we’re all in the midst of finals, busying ourselves with papers and exam study guides and flashcards upon flashcards. But it’s also an important time to think about your future and think about where you want to be in just a few months from now. I highly recommend, if you can make it here, taking a trip to Williamsburg and seeing W&M one more time before you make your decision. I came down to visit last year, escaping my school in the middle of finals for a weekend in Williamsburg to see what could be. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that feeling of coming to campus again, walking around the Sunken Garden with some of my friends, and feeling something click. I knew I had to come here.

You may not have friends here yet to visit, but there are still things to see and questions to ask. Absolutely get all the information you can and connect with current students (myself included!) about questions you have and any concerns that pop into your mind. There is a “W&M Admitted Transfers” Facebook group where you can get to know other admitted and current transfers! Look into all your resources. Speaking from experience, this was the best decision I ever made. I hope W&M can become your home too!
