Share your own experiences in transferring from BBCC to your current 4-year institution, including the biggest differences and changes, what you wish you would have known, and what you might do differently.
This will be one of the more open-ended topics as there are so many different directions this conversation can go. Share your own experiences with transitioning from BBCC to a 4-year institution. What went well, what could have gone better, what you wish you would have known, questions you didn't know to ask. Let your mentee ask their questions about the process as well and answer them to the best of your ability. Any questions they have that you don't know how to answer, write down and send to their advisor so we can follow up. Feel free to utilize the guided questions below if you need to.
