Learn Why Transfers Choose Stockton
Why did you choose Stockton?
It came down to my campus visit. I chose Stockton because of the helpfulness of the
staff in each department. Since I was a non-traditional student and a transfer student,
I felt like a fish-out-of-water. When I had a question or issue to resolve, the staff
would take me directly to the person that could answer my questions and resolve any
issues. The admissions and registration process was tremendous. They were very diligent
and understanding in transferring as many of my college credits from other schools
as possible.
Why did you choose Stockton?
I originally attended a different institution and decided to transfer to Stockton
after my first year. I wanted to go to a small liberal arts college to have the opportunity
to sample courses from a plethora of departments. I also loved the fact that Stockton
had small class sizes, which meant I could establish close relationships with my professors
and my classmates.
Why did you choose Stockton?
I chose Stockton because it was an easy transition for me. I had transferred to Stockton
while I was almost into my junior year. I was comfortable attending here knowing I
had friends that were already enjoying their Stockton experience. Also, a big aspect
was the presence of Greek Life on campus. I was worried that I would not be able to
meet many people because I did not attend as a freshman, and I wanted to make social
and business connections through Greek Life. At the end of the day, the biggest influencing
factor on my choice to attend Stockton was hearing people who attended or worked here
talk about how great the University was.
Why did you choose Stockton?
After attending another school in Florida for two years, I was looking to transfer
somewhere that better fit my career path. Upon moving back to New Jersey, Stockton
was high on my list for places to finish my undergraduate degree. I chose Stockton
primarily because of its environmental focus and wide variety of courses. It was difficult
for me to find a school that offered biomedical science courses as well as classes
in medicinal plants and mind-body therapies. The quiet setting of the University nestled
in the woods, as well as its proximity to my hometown, made it the perfect setting
for me to study.
