Hi There!

Sorry to hear your feeling like this about your current uni. However transferring is a lot more common than you would think.

If you know that you are not completely enjoying yourself in your city/Uni then I would definitely looked into moving, you don't want to live somewhere you are not enjoying for 3+ years, because eventually it will have an impact on you.

If you have an idea of where you wanted to transfer to I would contact that university and ask what their procedure is as every uni will differ.

I think its important to be happy where you are and with what you are studying and should do what is best for you.

I hope this helps!

Hey, I had exactly the same situation and I transferred from 1st year straight into 2nd. It's easier if you complete your 1st year, but you might be able to transfer mid-year if you speak to the admissions office. Have you spoken to anyone working at your current uni about this?

Hi there,

I haven't personally transferred university or course however I know one of my peers has recently transferred universities from a Scottish university to Manchester after 2^nd year!

He found the process to be supported by the university he was joining and they offered halls accommodation that was leftover spare from when freshers had dropped out. As a top tip if they don’t offer this- I would suggest if the university you're thinking of switching to doesn't make that offer - looking at the Facebook accommodation groups, as often they're searching for an extra flatmate or housemate to join them on a a student rental contract where they need a certain amount of people. That can be a great way to find some housemates for a university in an unfamiliar place.
Hope this helps
