<p>Okay, so to explain shortly, I go to a VERY small liberal arts college (2000 students). It's a great school academically, but I absolutely hate it here. I was considering staying for another semester for the following reasons:
1. I have a single next year, so I would be able to pretty much lock everyone out of my life (I'm not fond of my peers).
2. I would be able to see what I really want to do next semester, because this past year I have taken classes where they were either just taken to raise my GPA or because I had pursuits in other areas (pre-med) where I was unsuccessful.
I really would like to take a political science class next semester, as well as an art class, but for my entire freshman year I was unable to take one and ended up with the classes they had left (at one point they ran out of classes so just made one up in a random department). I was considering doing pre-law, but the thing is, I was also considering doing animation, which would require me to transfer. There's a small state school near my house that has a very good reputation with animation, but not so much with pre-law I believe. It's tuition is only 7k, I applied my high school year, and pretty much got a full ride there. Where I'm at now is 47k a year, although 1/3 of it is covered by scholarships, and the education received here is MUCH better than where I was considering transferring....so I'm not really sure what to do at this point...do I stay another semester of where I'm at now and see how everything goes (I'm transferring from here sooner or later, I despise the school) or should I just give up on pre-law entirely and just go for animation?</p>
<p>“1. I have a single next year, so I would be able to pretty much lock everyone out of my life (I’m not fond of my peers).”
I find this statement problematic. Why don’t you like your peers?</p>
<p>Also, pre-law is irrelevent because you can do any major you want to go to law school.</p>
<p>I find that everyone at my school is inevitably insane. I realized this before, but I just thought that it won’t be a problem if I try new things and meet new people. I have joined things that somewhat spark my interest, however just found that the people there are as crazy as anyone else. There are about three people I can stand there, and it’s not like it’s a culture shock thing, they’re just very…different, and I don’t care if they are, I just don’t want to be surrounded by it.</p>
<p>The school I was planning to transfer to has a very low acceptance rate when it comes to law schools, while the one I’m at now you’re almost a shoe-in. I also want to be thoroughly prepared for the LSATs when it’s time to take them.</p>
<p>where are you going?</p>
<p>Calling someone crazy is a strong assertion. Furthermore, you are the common denominator in every interaction that you have mentioned. What makes you think it would be different elsewhere? </p>
<p>In your case I think it would be wise to transfer because of you law school aspirations. The smartest thing to do is get the best GPA possible and accrue the least amount of debt because law school is expensive. It really does not matter where you do UG for law school as long as you have appropriate stats.</p>

<p>I’m going to Edinboro University…and I’ll just call them strange. I agree with you that I am the main factor of my own experiences and whether or not I make them good or bad, but honestly, I’ve been giving it my all and being as optimistic as possible about meeting new people and them turning out to be okay. I personally just can’t relate to anyone here, as in why people don’t like it that I take naps or that I’m wearing my ponytail against health regulations as a volunteer…And thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>“I personally just can’t relate to anyone here, as in why people don’t like it that I take naps or that I’m wearing my ponytail against health regulations as a volunteer.”</p>
<p>You sound like you’re taking comments too personally. Maybe you’re approaching people the wrong way, or rubbing off as unfriendly. Have you considering looking into the counseling center at your school? I have my share of social problems and didn’t really think talking to a third party was helpful, but it’s a relief really to find someone eager to relate to your problems and gain another perspective.</p>
<p>You should investigate your options…surely there are more choices than two choices, staying at your school or transferring to the state school? Some school that won’t be a financial burden and allow you to explore pre-law and animation?</p>
<p>Yeah, I was also considering Pitt, but that would actually be more expensive than here since I wouldn’t get any money from them. Also, I’m still waiting to see if I get accepted, because I feel like I didn’t. </p>
<p>And I usually don’t take comments too personally, the reason why I do is because they’re so frequent from the same people about absolutely nothing. For example, the person who commented on my hair **<strong><em>es at me for being “on time” because that is unacceptable, and really just treats me like *</em></strong> (it will still be her shift if I come in really early but I have to clean up everything after her and do everything else). It’s not the comments, it’s just that my life has become them. All people really say to me now is just things that I do wrong, and I can only take so much of that.</p>
