How should students evaluate the ROI of transferring colleges before making the decision?
Hi! I’m currently a sophomore college student considering transferring, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how people talk about college as an “investment.” What I’m struggling with is that, unlike traditional investments, students don’t really get clear ROI projections before making huge financial and life decisions like transferring schools. For professionals who have been through hiring or recruiting (or both), how do you personally think about the value of where someone went to school, and what advice would you give someone trying to decide if transferring is “worth it”? Thank you so much for your time! #Spring26
