<p>I have a guaranteed transfer to Binghamton University for next fall 2010, and they have recently invited me to apply for spring 2010 as well. I have not been in love with my school, the college of new jersey. After a semester I am unhappy. I dont really like the people around me that much, or the types of people that go to this school. My girlfriend of 3 and a half years goes here too, and although its really cool a lot of the time, its bad in a lot of ways.</p>
<p>I don't know anybody here and my girlfriend rooms with her best friend so she has a considerably easier time. I do not really like my floor very much, and I am not the greatest friends with my roommates either. I am at a loss for what to do, Binghamton was my fiest choice previously, and TCNJ was my fifth or so, but I dont know if binghamton would be any different or better. I am not sure if I am not enjoying the school or if its just the people here. I don't really like that the only thing to do is party here. It's not enjoyable for me. </p>
<p>But I heard that Binghamton is a bigger party school, and if I went there I would be three hours away and at a different school than my girlfriend. I've got a couple of friends that go there though. I really don't know what to do, if anyone has any advice please share!!!!</p>
<p>I transferred out of Purdue due to finances and currently regret it SOOOOO much. if I were you I would make a list of positives and negatives and see what outweights which side more. then look at the negatives and think if they really are a negative.</p>
<p>Just do it. Stop thinking about it and JUST do it. It will be a great decision.</p>
<p>I spent my first year at Morehouse… it was ok, but I knew I was missing out. Transferred halfway through my sophomore year to UGA and it was the best decision I ever made.</p>
<p>Sure I didn’t know ANY ONE for a few months… it was a little awkward. But now I’m a senior here, and it’s like I started off at UGA. I know everyone now, and all of the little negatives I felt when I first got here because of the awkwardness of transferring in the middle of the year are gone!</p>
<p>Transferring can be a great thing.</p>
<p>Don’t waste any more time and energy wondering “what if”. The sooner you do it, the sooner you’ll be happy at the new place.</p>
<p>You have a long life ahead of you. If you gage your decisions on what your high school girlfriend thinks, you’re going to regret it later down the road. College is all about growing both academically and socially. Stepping out of your comfort zone (and putting distance between you and your girlfriend) will give you the nudge you need to go out and meet new people. If you really want to transfer and you are using your girlfriend as the excuse not to do so, you may find yourself resenting the relationship a little bit down the road.</p>
<p>I spent two months away from my girlfriend. Not a three hour drive away. A five hour flight away. Yes, she was on the east coast and I on the west coast.</p>
<p>Long distance relationships really aren’t hard at all if you’re actually in love with each other and if you trust each other. We’ve had our phone arguments but it’s healthier for a couple to occasionally argue and rid the bad air than to keep their resentments pent up. You can see her every bloody weekend dude, a 3 hour driving distance is nothing.</p>
<p>I say transfer. If you don’t like, why stay? And what the kid above me said, 3 hours is NOTHING. Weekends, breaks, etc. it’ll be alright.</p>
<p>I applied to TCNJ just recently (HS senior :/). Do you think you’re not really feeling it because you’re out of state? It is over 90% instate after all.</p>
<p>Yeah true, I mean i havent liked it so far so im leaning toward transferring. And I wouldnt take my experience with TCNJ into too much consideration since everybody is different. There are some students that do like it here, such as my girlfriend. I am not really sure why i dont like it, i just cant relate to the types of people here i guess</p>
