Advice for Transfers: UCSB is a large school and it is easy to feel lost in its enormity. As a student, and especially a transfer student in a new and large environment, it is incredibly important to have a solid support system. Whether it is a mentor, a campus group, friends, or roommates, having a strong support system will be essential in maintaining your mental health and enjoying your time at UCSB.
