<p>After being accepted to:
- The University of Delaware ($30k per year with scholarship)
- Baruch College ($5500 per year)</p>
<p>I am not sure what to do with the next 3 years of college...</p>
<p>If I go to Baruch, I wont get to enjoy "the college experience" (both my brothers go here and say the campus is basically 3 sidewalks)
If I go to Udel, I will accumulate $16,500 in debt per year as apposed to $5500</p>
<p>I currently live in Long Island, New York and have appropriately enough credits to finish school in 3 years. I was thinking of going to Baruch for a year, doing study abroad with baruch for a year, then transferring to another school like Udel for a year.</p>
<p>What would you DO?</p>
<p>Look into school’s transfers. You normally can’t transfer at a whim. It’s usually after 60 credits (after your Sophomore year) you can’t trasnfer, so you’d be locked into Baruch there. Either that, or they will only transfer up to 60 credits, plus some credits just wouldn’t trasnfer anyways, so you’d be spending longer in school. Not saying you can’t transfer or that’s not an option or anything, just make sure you look into both schools’ policies before deciding to do that.</p>
<p>Okay. Thank you. Are you sure about the 60 credit policy most schools have? Ive seen stats of even seniors transfering.</p>
<p>Any other advice from anyone would be appreciated</p>
<p>Look into the specific schools transfer requirements. Most schools do have a minimum number of credits you have to complete to graduate there, so that’s definitely something you need to know.</p>
<p>I would personally choose Baruch if I were you.</p>
<p>No, to be honest, I’m not 110% sure. Just at the schools I was looking at when I was applying, I noticed for transfers they mostly had a 60 credit limit. This may be a happy coincidence, I guess I just assumed it was a general rule of thumb. That being said, I do know for a fact that those specific schools had them, so just make sure you double check YOUR schools. While it’s possible they don’t have limits, it’s still possible they do.</p>
<p>Why would you go to one school with the intention of transferring to the other option for your last year? Transferring is a headache and the financial aid you get as a transfer student is typically less than what you get offered as a freshmen.</p>
