Hey guys. I’m currently a sophomore at a state school in PA. My freshman year before we got kicked off because of Covid, was… well… eh. I went to the school because I know the locals, and both of my parents went there. I found myself not really talking to the townspeople I already knew at all. I spent 9/10 of my time, in my dorm either studying or sleeping. Maybe partying on the weekend (pre-covid). I found it very hard to make friends on campus. A. lot of people were just hard to get along with (I know I’m not the only one who felt this way, my neighbor down the hall agreed with me).However last semester I joined my fraternity. They’re my brothers, I enjoy spending every minute with them, but just my loneliness of freshman year kinda made me set on looking at my options (my. chapter is VERY small too, greek life is done where I’m currently at). I decided to apply to transfer to West Chester U next fall (2021). I got accepted! I love the campus, there IS a chapter of my fraternity there. I’d be commuting from my aunts house who is like 20 mins away from campus (I’d have the house to myself). But I would have to take sophomore year over again and be in class of '24 (pre business protocol I guess). I committed for next fall because I was told I had to do it within 30 days of being accepted (I can always withdraw but). I’m so stuck. Every time I look at pictures of my campus I’m currently at, I get all disappointed that I’ll prob be leaving. But then I think about why I wanted to transfer (those days/nights where I sat around, nothing to do). But when I go to hang out there over the summers I think of all the friends that I won’t see (but then I realize they never hit me up during the fall or winter). My family is thrilled to have me going to West Chester however. I see it as an opportunity to meet more people, have my brotherhood (the fraternity) and be close to family. (Plus there’s always something going on down there it seems). Has anyone transferred to West Chester before on here? If so, how was it? Did you regret your decision? And if not West Chester, any other schools y’all have transferred to and feeling the same way as me? Any advice would be HUGE. Thanks!
