Why I almost transferred out of the University of Michigan (and the reasons I didn’t)

Is there such a thing as the "perfect" college fit?
Not every college experience is the perfect rosy, Netflix-esque four years you might imagine. In fact, it rarely is. When life gets real, studies get hard, and homesickness rears its ugly head, the onus is on you to dig deep and connect these challenges to your true purpose for attending.
Watch as Your Friendly Neighborhood College Counselor opens up about her own journey navigating the admissions process, why she chose Michigan, reasons she contemplated transferring, and ultimately why she committed to giving it a second chance.
This honest tale isn't going to sugarcoat things for you, but hopefully, these vulnerable anecdotes will prepare you for any kind of college experience you're about to enter.
