On October 6th, 2011 the South Café was filled with 40 colleges from all over New England for the annual Transfer Fair. They gathered from different areas if Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and other states to show the students here at the Mount what they have to offer if students are planning on transferring for their bachelors’ degrees.
Some of the colleges that attended the event include Becker College, Keene State, Fitchburg State University, St. Joseph’s, Westfield State, UMass Lowell, UMass Boston, and UMass Amherst, Worcester State and Nichols College (which is part of the 3+1, transfer program.)
With so many different colleges presenting themselves and having their representatives try to explain everything they possibly can to increase their chances on an enrollment rise, it gets kind of hectic and seems like you would never remember one college from the next. Luckily, all of the colleges participating were able to hand out booklets and papers that could further explain their colleges and inform you on where to go on their web sites or who to talk to, if any students have questions.
Even some tables that did not have something you were looking for or interested in were very helpful on pointing out which colleges were good for you. This shows that all of these representatives do their homework on the educational world today and are invested in helping transfer students find their right path.
The Mount is a great place to start and has amazing faculty that can help you excel and prepare you for transferring. If you are interested in learning more about Transferring, contact Transfer Services at extension 197.
