<p>I'm not going to take a lot of time to write down all my gripes about my school, there are enough pages like that on here and they only ever seem to garner the "wait it out and see" and "give it a real chance" types of answers. My question is this, how do you know you picked the wrong school? When does discontent stop being homesickness and adjusting and become genuine displeasure with the place you are at?
I'd especially like to hear from transfer students. What made you decide that you're school wasn't the right one for you?</p>
<p>Well im not a transfer student but i’m trying to transfer out of my college this year. I wouldn’t say i picked a terrible school and its really bad but I feel like I’d have more fun somewhere else while learning. The first week or 2 of my freshmen year, i felt really homesick and I wasnt happy where i was. But i made some friends throughout the quarter and throughout the year and it changed my outlook on the school. Schools kind of seem similar to me and i think its the friends you make that will change your outlook on it. So the reason i want to transfer is that i dont really like the town around my school, because i’m from a really spread out suburban area and the town around my school is all compact and tons of traffic everywhere. I ended up liking the school that i thought i would hate for the next 2 years but the surrounding area still gives me some discontent. If you wanna talk more about it, you can message me.</p>
<p>I’d say if you don’t think there’s anything you feel that you can take away from the school through any facet like clubs, activities, friends, atmosphere, or whatever, that’s when it’s time to transfer. But you gotta be absolutely sure that’s what you want to do.</p>
<p>But I know many who have transferred from school to school looking for the right one and when they’re at their fourth or fifth school it does seem a bit ridiculous! I know someone who transferred from Penn State to UCLA to UC Davis to Cal Poly Pomona. I wonder if he’s going to transfer again, LOL.</p>
<p>For me it was the tutoring. I thought the college I transferred to had a good tutoring program, but I was wrong. There is only one tutor for regular chem and you have 300+ people taking chem this year and each class has about 100 students, so it also makes it hard to really see the professor during office hours. I plan to transfer, again, because of it. My last college had a good tutoring program, but it was a college focused more on law than pre med</p>
