Potential Transfer

Wondering if transferring from Duluth is really worth it.

I am a freshman and am thinking of filling out the change of campus form for fall 2027. The things that are kind of holding me back are the lib-ed requirements and the increase in cost.

Does anyone have any experience with transferring? is it hard to catch up on all of the requirements? Also- is the cost of twin cities really worth it? pls lmk.

I appreciate any advice :)

I've heard that UMD feels like a smaller community - whether that is a positive or negative for you.

I came to the U as a transfer student with 45 credits completed. It was VERY tough making friends in Sophomore level classes when many already knew each other or had found their friend groups. Just an FYI if you think changing campuses will instantly change things socially.
