Bryan Vuong, a University of Illinois graduate student in accounting, transferred from UI-Chicago to finish his education. He says transfer students could benefit if they're armed with more information about the university before they make the move.
The University of Illinois has launched a statewide initiative aimed at helping students transfer to and ultimately graduate from the university.
With a $900,000 grant from the Lumina Foundation of Indianapolis, the university plans to partner with community colleges around the state, boost its recruiting of transfer students and beef up support to transfer students once they arrive on campus.
