<p>Hi, I'm an entering frosh into a state college in international studies, I was too scared to move away from family and friends so I didn't apply to any big nice schools, nor did I think I could of afforded them anyway. I now realize my mistake of not following my dreams, so I plan on trying to transfer to a better school like, UCLA or something my junior year or at least trying to go to graduate school at the better school. I am extremely interested in history and foreign study, especially European but I love all areas of the world. I plan on to continue studying French so I can become fluent, and I also speak a little family danish.</p>
<p>can someone plz give me the lowdown on some schools that are great in history? I know I'm an international studies major, but deep down, I'm a history nut. But at my school where elementary education is like the 1st or 2nd most popular major a history major means you're just learnin' so you can go teach 7th grade history. I want to be a scholar a lifetime learner, so I figured international studies for my bachelors, then more history oriented for my masters. </p>
<p>I like UCLA, but I'm afraid it doesn't have that old gothic academic atmosphere I'd like to be in.</p>
<p>thank ya</p>
