A little advice or guidance on a junior transfer

<p>I go to a city college in NYC and am an accounting major. I chose accounting because I thought it was safe and I didn't know what to do with my life. </p>

<p>I'm entering my junior year, am at the 60 credit level and was wondering if it would be insane to try and transfer to another school for the spring semester.</p>

<p>My reasons for wanting to transfer:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>to go a school with a wider variety of classes and majors (my school has mainly business majors)</p></li>
<li><p>I do not want to go into business</p></li>
<li><p>i'm worried that as a person I'm not growing by going to a city college and staying at home where i'm surrounded by too many voices and not a lot of social support </p></li>
<li><p>I now know that college is a once in a lifetime experience and don't want to regret not taking a chance to broaden my horizons years down the road. I was too scared to think about my future during my senior year of high school. Everything was overwhelming. The previous summer my father had passed away and I just felt like my family wasn't there for me. I regret not going away for college.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>My gpa is a bit on the low side, a 3.34. I was a straight A student my first semester, but suffered my second semester with the passing away of a family member. I managed to get my grades back up again.</p>

<p>Any guidance and advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm miserable here.</p>

<p>you didn’t mention what type of school you’re interested in, but there are some SUNYs that will take up to 90 credits from you so you’ll still be on time to graduate if you apply for spring. otherwise you’ll probably have to spend an extra semester at your new school to finish up, which isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just a matter of whether or not you’re up for it</p>

<p>My son transferred as a second semester junior. It’s not insane. He transferred to SUNY New Paltz. He is loving it there. He does have to spend an extra year to make up for lost credits, but I’m sure it is different for each major. He likes it so much he is happy to get the extra year as an undergrad.</p>
