If I were you, I would start the transfer process now and take a semester break from the entering university than from a community college. I do not have any strong reasons, but why wait if you can do it now. Moreover, I 'd think that a bigger university will probably have dealt with cases like yours before than a community college. Hence, smooth process. ===== On a totally unrelated note, is the email you submitted to sajhal working? I sent you a couple of emails regarding the apartments, but haven't received any responses yet. If you do not mind, would you send me a email at: ktm_wanderer@ yahoo.com
