#TerrierTransfers meet Rudy Joseph (Wheelock'24), a sophomore majoring in Education and Human Development.

What was your transition like when you first started at BU?

"I enjoy seizing new opportunities and making sense of new environments, so my transition into BU was not difficult. I also benefited from participating in FYSOP (First-Year Student Outreach Project), which had a group for transfers specifically, which eased my early transition into the community."

Can you think of a specific experience that made you happy that you transferred to BU?

"There is no specific experience as it was a collection of experiences that made me happy about coming to BU. Participating in organizations such as the BU Community Service Center, The Newbury Center, Admissions Ambassadors, Admission Student Diversity Board, and serving as a Dean Host for my college. Also joining clubs like FLIP @ BU or BU Survivor and taking courses for my major has all contributed a unique part to my time here and has collectively made me happy I came."

What are the general resources that BU provides for transfer students?

"First and foremost, TTBU (Transition to BU) has a tremendous program. Additionally, the FY 101 Transfer program has provided a great option to ease into BU life through a more structured setting. My college, BU Wheelock, also has a Transitional Mentor Program, where I can speak to fellow transfers about small logistical items specific to my major and serve as additional support when needed."
