INTRODUCTION<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Transfer Student Alliance is an organization dedicated to helping Transfers with the unique challenges they face when starting at UCSB. Whether students need help transitioning socially, academically, or professionally, UCSB’s TSA is here to help solve their problems and answer any of their questions. Its work is of particularly importance now, since more and more students are choosing to begin their college experience at community colleges due to the ever-increasing costs of attending four-year schools. Its work allows transfers students to hit the ground running and take full advantage of what UCSB has to offer.<\/p>\n
