From one place to another

I am usually used of transferring from one place to another or from one school to another. When I was a 3rd grader student, I needed to transfer for the next year. It was a very unusual feeling of being in a new place where you knew no one. Also during the second semester of my 2nd year in college, I transferred to another university which is farther from our place that I needed to travel for more than 6 hours. That is why I learned that it is very important for us to be friendly especially to the new ones in our place.
