Thriving as a transfer student at UHCL

When Marlin Martinez packed her bags to leave Texas State University, she was unsure if transferring was the right decision. Moving to a new school felt overwhelming, but as soon as she stepped onto the UHCL campus, she felt something different — a sense of belonging. According to recent Institute for Higher Education Policy data, nearly 40% of all college students in the U.S. transfer from one institution to another. Marlin is one of them, now pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Education with Core Subjects EC-6, specializing in Early Childhood. Inspired by her mother, who has been a teacher for over 20 years, she has always had a passion for education.
