为了了解影响社区学院转学生的学术和社会融合的因素，我们采访了19名转学到一所州立大型研究型大学的学生。我们询问了转学过程，大学为他们提供指导和帮助的努力，以及对大学与社区学院的看法。调查结果表明，社区学院转学生可能需要更多的援助最初比他们得到的，部分原因是大学的规模大。此外，从社区学院转学的学生需要了解研究机构的机构使命如何影响教师和学生的行为。学生事务工作人员可能需要带头履行四年制院校的责任，将社区学院的转学纳入院校的结构。
To understand factors affecting the academic and social integration of community college transfer students, we interviewed 19 students who transferred to one state's large Research-Extensive university. We inquired about the transfer process, efforts of the university to orient and assist them, and perceptions of the university versus the community college. Findings indicate that community college transfer students may need more assistance initially than they are given, partly because of the large size of the university. In addition, transfers from community colleges need to understand how a research institution's institutional mission affects faculty and student behavior. Student affairs staff may need to lead the way in fulfilling four-year institutions' responsibility for integrating community college transfers into the fabric of the institution.
