Is it hard to transfer from a big public school to a small liberal arts college in the same state?

Question

A little more detail..right now I'm a math major @ Minnesota twin-cities and I'm thinking about transferring to a liberal arts college in the same state or Iowa. Well I'm also an international student so things may be more complicated and limited.

Would it be easier to transfer in the same state? Any suggestions please? i appreciate your help. :)

Answer 1

Liberal arts colleges are private schools so the instate versus out of state issue is largely irrelevant except for the fact that they may be familiar with the academic profile of the state school and aware of what the academic record really means there.  The liberal artc college will be primarily focused on how strong academically the applicant is and what spaces they actually have open.
