| Background: |
|
This study examined how transfer students were making the transition to UCLA as it happened, rather than months after the students had become acclimated to their classes, the campus, its services, and the student body. We were interested in how new students viewed their transfer experiences, as well as how they were introduced to and able to navigate the campus in the first few months after arriving. |
