Let say I am able to transfer credit in my first year, then I will not have to study those courses while gaining those credits.  Then, how can I graduate earlier, eg. 2/3 years, for a 4 year engineering course?  People always say take more credit hours in a year.  That means if I can transfer credit, I should take the typical 2nd year courses in my 1st year to fill up the free time?  Kind of confuse with the credit transfer and graduate early things.  Thanks for helping.
