"Transferring to Hope was so much easier than I expected. All of my units were accepted and I found my niche on campus really quickly. At first I was worried that I would have a difficult time starting school in the middle of the year since everyone else had already been there a semester, but Hope has such a comfortable environment that I was pleasantly surprised!"
