“The best advice I can give is to be prepared for change. When I transferred, I didn’t realize how much change there was going to be, and it all kind of hit me at once. Fortunately, Point Loma has a really friendly environment. It made it easier to transfer. The moment I stepped on campus it felt right, and I knew that Point Loma was where I was supposed to be.”
– Jessica Mancini, transferred to PLNU from Mesa College as a sophomore and serves as the student assistant for Transfer Student Services
