My kids graduated from college in 2016 and 2018.

It could be my imagination, but there seemed to be a pronounced increase in college transfers among regular students in my kid's classes than I recall in my days in school.

I always felt that kids who transfer are at a big disadvantge socially because they missed relatuonships that began in the first 1 or 2 years as students. Having said that, if the situation was really bad, a transfer could certainly improve the situation.

Whatever the reason and outcome, it just seemed to me that many more kids these days are transferring.Possibly the same thing we are seeing with athletes?

Anyone else notice this?
