Shivom
UC San Diego
"“My UBridge advisor is without a doubt one of the sweetest and most helpful people I know. Whether I needed help with my college application, getting in touch with a professor or even something not related to college, she was always ready to help. I honestly don’t think I would have done as well as I did if it wasn’t for her.”"

Their support took the stress and complexity out of transferring. Without their help I’d have been lost.”"
