<p>This whole thing ends tomorrow either way.. so please, here me out.</p>
<p>I currently attend UNC-Chapel Hill and am an out-of-state student. I've had an alright time there and have made some friends that make the time pass by easier. However, the big school environment really isn't my style. Also, the friends I have there are only my friends during the week. During the weekend, they all leave to go visit other schools or go home. This makes my life a bit boring. Next year, I will have to move off campus with one of my suit mates and take the bus into campus every day, another negative. </p>
<p>I applied to transfer to Wake Forest U, a school that seems to fit me more than UNC does. I accepted their offer of admission for Spring 2009 semester, but their admissions office fumbled the acceptance and I missed orientation and class registration. For the past two weeks, I've been going around to classes that are all full. So far, I have 7 hours for the semester, possibly 10. Then it gets dicy. I could try to get in 2 1/2 semester courses which would get me up to 13 hours. When Wake fumbled it, they just told me I was on my own in terms of registration and I had to go find out classes that were open. </p>
<p>I also have this fear that if I do transfer, things will be difficult to adjust to. People have already made friends, and the whole "work forest" and grade deflation tales worry me as well. I just finished a rough semester at UNC after taking Calc, Stat, and Microecon and managed a miserable 2.7. I'm thinking moving to Wake, which will probably be more difficult than Chapel Hill, isn't the smartest move. My friends that go to Wake said the workload is "bad" and it takes a lot of getting used to. I'd already be behind in 4/5 classes (assuming I get into these ones the registrar found last week, the 1/2 semester course doesn't start till Tuesday this week). I'm just thinking it isn't worth all the mess and effort to move to a school of equal or less prestige. I'm not that happy at UNC, but I think I can manage another 2.5 years (2 if I chose to graduate early). I also worry that if I stay, I'll be in the apartment alone a lot next year because my roommates (the same guys I'm with now) will just leave as they do right now...</p>
<p>Maybe my worries are silly. I'm really a mess right now and was really spooked after my poor performance last semester. I've never done so poorly academically before in my life. I had a mini-breakdown before leaving for this semester in the driveway. I don't know if my troubles are because of a mild case of homesickness or what.</p>
