I'm from NY, and senior in Queens college but my husband and I

want to move to middlesex county in Monroe Twp because one of my children need a new school for Junior high etc. The change has to be now or never .

.You know. But I have 104 credits in QC and Iwonder how the transfer in NJ is?

Most universities in NJ and in this country seem to accept freshman, sophomore and begining junior as transfer student. Why? because there is "residency requirement", student needs to study at the university for certain years (normally 2) in order to get their degree.

If there is no such requirement, I would recommend good students to transfer to Harvard Univ, MIT, or any expensive university at last sememster to get the famous university degree at much lower cost...

YOU'RE RIGHT!! that's a great idea. Thank you so much I think that a positive point of moving out of my home and not finish yet at school.

Thank you

NJ schools are the toughest in the country to transfer to. Not that the application/acceptance part is difficult, but getting all your credits transferred is. NJtransfer.com is a website where you can put your classes in and see if the university you had in mind will accept the credits. Or, call and talk to the transfer office at the school you are looking into.

Thank you Toni_ciccia for your response It was helpful. I'm planning to teach and I need to get everything straight before I apply to a new or travel from NJ to Ny just to get the rest of it. I have 104 but I still need about??? 20...What do you think

Well, I know some teachers at Piscataway schools living at Bronx NY area and commute to teach here. So, if I were you, I would probably trying to finish degree from Queens College NY than worrying about transfer. You may try to arrange in a way so that courses can be taken in, say, 3 days, rather than 5 days, and doing homework or programs remotely... Commute by train may also let you study, sleep or writing homework at train...
