Transfer Alumni Spotlight | |
Meet Omar Salgado!
In 2021, Omar Garcia transferred to UCLA as a communications major.
What do you enjoy about your transfer university?
UCLA is a place that really embodies diversity and independence. The campus culture is elevating and yet you can still find any form of community that you are looking for. You will be able to find your place on campus.
What transfer advice would you give to future FC transfer students?
When looking to transfer don't limit your school choices, you want to have options to choose from and make the best choice for you not for others. What is going to make you happy? I would say the most helpful thing I was able to do when applying to universities was going and touring the different campuses. Learn more about the UCLA here.
