It's National Transfer Student Week, and we're celebrating the amazing transfer students who have joined our Bushnell family!

We recently caught up with Aidan Bolton, a new transfer student studying psychology with a focus on forensics, to hear about his experience at Bushnell so far:

“Bushnell has been exceptionally welcoming. From students to faculty, to classrooms or student life, the people at Bushnell have shown me what it feels like to live in a Christ-centered community. This is a place where I feel like I can belong, with people who help me to be the best version of myself."

We're grateful for Aidan and all our transfer students, along with the families who support them throughout their journeys!

Interested in transferring to Bushnell or simply exploring your options? You can receive a free, unofficial transfer credit evaluation by submitting your transcript through our Transfer Evaluation Request form in our bio. We'll help you see how your completed coursework could apply toward your degree at Bushnell!

Last week we asked and you answered how you survive midterms as we hit the halfway point of our fall semester.

And the answer is clear: prayer, studying with support, and maybe just a bit of caffeine! ☕️
