The purpose of this case study was to describe the transfer students' perceptions of the Transfer Zone in the College of Agricultural Science and Natural Resources at Oklahoma State University using Tinto's (1975) model for integrating transfer students into a four-year institution. This case study focused on transfer students who populated the Transfer Zone in the spring of 2007. The Transfer Zone appeared to have a positive impact on retention of the transfer student participants. Living accommodations, although the most significant "selling point" of why participants decided to participate in the program, was also the principal concern of all participants. Programming and activities did not meet the needs of all the students. It was perceived by students that the Transfer Zone did not contribute to their academic success. Findings indicated that the Transfer Zone did not facilitate social integration into the OSU system.Department of Agricultural Education, Communications, and Leadershi
