<p>I am a freshman at Sacred Heart University and I just hate it here! I am a very conservative and mature student who does not go out and party and I did not realize how big of a party school Sacred Heart was until I got there which I was not expecting. Despite the parties all the time, this school is really trying to build up there name and reputation. They are building several new buildings and keep admitting about 200 more freshman than the year before to become a bigger school but with that happening, there is no more room for freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Everyone other than freshman have to live AT LEAST 15 minutes away from campus and I got forced tripled into a double which makes everything a lot worse. The security absolutely sucks here, anyone could get in if they wanted to which makes me and even my parents very concerned. I just don't like it here and I want something bigger, better and a lot more conservative. Sacred Heart is not a challenge for me and I like a challenge. I am also a cheerleader and at Sacred Heart it is considered a D1 sport which I want when I transfer. I need something a lot better because I am so disappointed in my decision.</p>
<p>I visited Villanova over the summer just to look around and I fell in love. It really is the perfect school for me. The reason I didn't apply my senior year of high school is mainly because of my grades. I went to a catholic school on long island and passing was a 75. Now, I NEVER failed a class or even came close to it. I always had high 80's and low 90's for the most part and my senior year I finished with a perfect 4.0. What hurt me most was definitely the SATs. I studied my butt off for solo long (almost 2 years) and just did not do good. I super scored and came to a 1600. I was very involved in high school by doing soo many clubs and being captain of cheerleading all 4 years. But when it came down to applying I didn't feel confident with my application enough to send it to Villanova but now i regret that and I really want to transfer there. Here at Sacred Heart I am maintaining about a 3.3-3.5 GPA throughout my classes which I am happy about but definitely want to improve next semester.I have been juggling participating in a D1 sport along with work-study and other clubs and by spring semester cheer season will be finished so I can definitely focus more on grades and involvement in the school. I have already been doing research for Villanova, it's just hard to find opinions so PLEASE respond... I would really appreciate and it would just help so much! Please feel free to say anything. Be brutal if necessary I do not mind!</p>
