<p>I went to the University of St Thomas in St Paul last year and transfered to a similar Liberal arts college in Minneapolis, Augsburg. I don't mind it, but I am starting to wonder if a large atmosphere, anonymity (spelling?) type school like the U of M Twin Cities campus would be best for me. I am thinking I would like to be a Sociology or Psychology major with an added Minor possibly. I have a 2.99 GPA from all my college work, and I would hope this would be good enough to get accepted there. </p>
<p>Part of the reason I am thinking about transferring is that I have heard for getting jobs out of state or further schooling it may be better to go to a more well known school across the nation. </p>
<p>I also know getting very good letters of recommendation is good and thats easier at a smaller school. I am a little confused, but I am hoping everything becomes clearer soon. </p>
<p>Hello I was just interested in you saying you transferred three times I to have already transferred twice and theres nothing wrong with the school I’m am at now but I have been thinking about transferring again to a school in the city, more devoted to my major and also to be closer to my girlfriend and I was just wondering how you dealt with transferring so many times and if it benefited you or hurt you? please give me the best advice you can</p>
<p>Thanks that helps a little just hearing from someone else that went through the transferring thing as well. My biggest concern is I’m in between majors whether it be graphic design or advertising and I currently go to Southern New Hampshire University and their design program is only about 9 classes where as every other school I looked at is about 20 or so classes and it makes me think that I would be learning to much about liberal arts and the general ed. classes then I would about design.</p>
<p>Advertising however at the school seems like a good major at the school. But I have been looking at possibly transferring to the Art Institute in Boston because their main focus is on art, design, and advertising, but my biggest problem that I guess I’m dealing with is if I want to go through with the process again and have to meet new people again.</p>
<p>The first time I transferred it was because I hated the school and it too was the only one I got accepted too but it was also because my girlfriend. I don’t know if this time is also because my g/f or just about my major because by going to boston I would would ALOT closer to her.</p>
<p>Has anyone ever transferred from one school and then transferred back to their original school? </p>
<p>I am considering doing this, as I just can’t seem to let the ties I made at my original school go. I switched from a small private university in my hometown to a big public university about an hour away. While my current school is a very ideal place for the social aspect of college, I am pretty disappointed with the academics thus far. I feel that my opportunities may be greater at my old school, as I knew the professors on a more personal level. I did fairly well at my old school, and although it was more challenging, I felt like I was learning a lot. </p>
<p>I am also in a sorority and I miss the girls from the oringial school. The academics at both schools are fairly comprabable, although my orignial school was private, and since my father works for the university, I get a HUGE discount tuition is about the same for both schools. The current university that I am at was my number one choice coming out of high school, and I didn’t get in. My grades were good enough to get in, but I went to a very competitive high school where 40 other people were accepted ahead of me. </p>
<p>At my first school, I didn’t like it at all during first semester but looking back I think it was the change of college that I didn’t like, rather than the school itself. I joined my sorority second semseter and finally felt like I was beginning to find my niche. However, I had applied to transfer over winter break, and I didn’t want to regret my decision. Transfer Lady, you seem pretty experienced and knowledgable on the transfer process, do you have any advice?</p>
