Deep Question for Stanford Students...

Colleges & Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>I have a different type of question than are normally posted on this website. I'm not wondering IF I could get into Stanford as a transfer, but SHOULD I transfer to Stanford. In a nutshell, I am top 5% of my class, Student Government, coaching Club Tennis, a T.A., in a play, E-board for my fraternity...and I have been selected to be the face of my University next year.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I am not having the college experience that I had envisioned for myself. I find the school materialistic and shallow. As a sophomore, this is my last chance to transfer.</p>

<p>Students of Stanford, is the Stanford experience so amazing, that it is worth leaving my current college behind? Unlike other transfer students, I have completely intermeshed myself into my current University, so leaving would have some big repercussions for me.</p>

<p>I would leave if the grass on the other side was really greener.</p>

<p>What do you want out of college that you are not getting? It depends entirely on what you are looking for. What's your major? What are you hoping to find in Stanford?</p>

<p>Tennispro2186: Have just read your identical post on the Brown site. Seems as if you're hella confused as to where you want to transfer. Given that you don't seem sure as to where you'd like to transfer, and given that you seem to be so "intermeshed" (sounds painful) in your current univ., you may not want to risk the unknown!</p>
