Argument - Counter argument #9

     My main argument in the paper is that the transfer students have a lot of problems with social integration. Because they feel out of box and don't fit right with either freshmen , sophomores or juniors they experience  isolation, loneliness and eventually depression. Furthermore, the social conflict affects the academic life: detachment from student lifestyle has negative effects on  academic performance too. Because of this, many transfer students are unable to finish their school and have  bad experiences in college. Contrary to this point I found STARS program that provides transfer students helping hand both financially and emotionally. By mentoring transfer students  STARS program helps students to adapt much more easily and connect to the university community , establish network and have good connections after graduating the school.
