<p>The sentence reads "Now at Harvard, the 20-year-old thinks it's ironic she transferred since she's realized she wants a career in broadcast news -- Columbia is known for its journalism school -- but she says her new school can enhance her career in the long run: "The name Harvard helps you get internships.""</p>
<p>As a former transfer who talks with a lot of students about tranferring, I just thought I would stop by and urge you to decide to transfer for the right reasons. I read the sentence, I actually felt for the girl because she left a school which probably was better for her academically and now cites Harvard as being worth it for internships. She may be happy, it is hard to say (unless she is on this board and can correct me, which is always a possibility), but I just got a negative feeling from the quote.</p>
<p>So please, really think about why you want to transfer and make sure that you have good reasons and that you will fit in better at your next school. I can tell you from my experience that I have never regretted transferring, not one day, but you have to make sure that it is the right decision.</p>
<p>Give your school a chance...you may love it. Okay, off the soap box, but thanks for listening!</p>
<p>Amen, irish.<br>
I am a former transfer myself and my S transferred last year as well. So I have nothing against transferring, not at all. But some folks are chasing something they won't find, or transferring in ways that won't help them reach their goals.</p>
<p>That girl's point of view just made me and several others on the Parent Board roll our eyes, to say the least.</p>
<p>I transferred from Creighton University to Notre Dame. Part of it was that ND was my dream school but also a significant part was that the Psychology program at Creighton wasn't nearly as strong and I was worried about getting into graduate school. If you are curious, I have my whole story on my website (I made a website devoted to transferring to ND...I have no life). <a href="http://www.nd.edu/%7Emnadorff/transfer%5B/url%5D">www.nd.edu/~mnadorff/transfer</a></p>
