College transfer

Okay kiddo, so you know how when you go to school you sometimes have a favorite teacher or a better classroom that you wish you could stay in all the time? Well, going to college is kinda like that too!

Sometimes students start at one college and then want to go to a different college for different reasons. When someone goes to a new college, it's called a college transfer.

Think of it like playing Nintendo Switch. You might start playing a game on one console but then want to transfer your game to a different console so you can keep playing.

But to do a college transfer, you have to follow certain rules and meet specific requirements. Just like how you have to put in the work and effort to advance to the next level in your favorite game.

You may have to fill out lots of paperwork, get good grades, and show that you are ready to handle the new schoolwork. It can be a bit confusing, but luckily there are people at the college who can help you with all the steps.

So, if you ever decide to do a college transfer, just remember that it's kind of like transferring your game from one Nintendo Switch to another - you have to follow the rules and meet the requirements, but with a little help, you'll be able to keep playing and learning at a new college!
