<p>hi. im about 90% sure i want to transfer, and i was just wondering what people had experienced in the past. whats the social situation like? i know it's starting all over again, but it cant possibly be as bad as adjusting the first time when you're homesick and hate your location? what are your thoughts? are transfer students really left out by other students?</p>
<p>I'm pretty close to dropping out and starting over.</p>
<p>You should find out if your school has a transfer orientation program. WashU does which made it really helpful to assimilate as a transfer. Also, if you just meet one person on your first day. You can then use that person as a means to meet a whole bunch of people. The best thing you can do is attend campus events. Just go to facebook-->events--->friends' events OR go to your network page and search for what's going on. Go to a bunch of events and you WILL meet people who will be excited you're going to their events.</p>
<p>BO5TON I almost feel the same way X_X. Where are you going to college?
I'm at Tulane and I just...blah. IT's messing m life up.</p>
<p>Boston U. man.</p>
<p>B05T0N, I went to BU last year and transferred. I'm at Chicago now. What don't you like about it? I probably hear you, through and through. And JB, it's really interesting -- my suitemate's also a transfer, and he's from Tulane.</p>
<p>milkdud, I've been extremely satisfied with how the transfer's been going. Then again, I'm in a special situation because I'm in a dorm/house where there are about 40 other transfers with me. UChicago's been extremely accommodating, designing special programs for transfer students and everything, making sure that we're comfortable and up to date. I'm impressed in ways that I never was at Boston University. As far as meeting new people goes, they can't TELL i'm a transfer, and most of them are actually really interested and excited to hear what life's like outside the walls, if you will. It's a good situation -- I HIGHLY recommend it if you're unhappy where you are.</p>
<p>All the kids do here is party Wed-Sun. I dont mind it a little, but not every day. I like to do other things. While Chicago would probably work, no offense, but I'm not really a 'nerd' and I'm struggling at BU to the point of dropping out and starting over. I'd have no chance at a school like UC.</p>
<p>Haha Tulane is tuesday night exclusively...wed-monday are like on the side days (but still people are like sick drunk everyday anyways)</p>
<p>yeah im really unhappy at my current school too (university of vermont). i know i have to wait until the fall to transfer for a few reasons, but the thought of staying here the whole year is killing me. i just wish i could drop out and magically transfer to a better school next year. how an i supposed to stay here the full year? i feel your pain. BO5TON, what kind of school are you looking for next year, i know a lot about schools, maybe i can help</p>
<p>A lot of kids here have friends at UVM or UNH and visit for the weekend. I'm looking for a more chill school with kids who can do other stuff besides partying all the time. I think Pitt and Maryland are good choices for me. I have friends at both who said the kids are very friendly and social beyond partying. I'll take any suggestions.</p>
<p>College is partying partying partying drinking is life and so is beer pong, my major is Drinking with a minor in beer pong. If you don't drink you are a loser how could you possibly want to go to a college where the main focus isnt drinking??? /sarcasm</p>
<p>too much sarcasm</p>
<p>Hahaha. I like the joke burgler09, but the sad fact of the matter is that is the mentality at Tulane and a lot of other big party schools lol.</p>
<p>well BO5TON, you might actually want to take a look at UVM. people do party, but my friends at least dont party all the time. its mainly thursday and saturday nights. i dont like the school for reasons other than that, you seem like you like big schools and the academics here arent hard at all, another problem for me. but you should look into it. the people are, for the most part, chill</p>
