<p>Being in student government and all, I got to know the in's and out's of my college. I know which dean to talk to to get into classes that I want, which server in the cafetaria is the most generous with the fries, which bathroom is always stocked with tampons/pads, what classes have comfy seats, etc...I mean, a lot of what I mentioned just now are quite trivial, but they add to my sense of belonging here. I'm NOT just a name, a face, or a statistic in the crowd of 20,000 at my college.</p>
<p>Out of the 6 applications I submitted, I have received 3 back thus far, all of them being acceptances. Needless to say, I'm VERY excited to leave, to embark upon a new journey. At the same time, though, I'm sort of scared to start fresh all over again. I'm sure I'll eventually adjust to my new life, and I know there will be great people wherever I go. But just when I feel like I'm becoming a part of a new school, I'll be graduating...:</p>
<p>Is anyone else bittersweet about transferring? Am I the only one?</p>
<p>I feel the same way about it! I applied to transfer to my dream school, the 'one that got away' last year (I was waitlisted and never admitted). However, my time at my current school has been amazing and a large part of me doesn't want to leave at all. I applied to transfer because I can't seem to let that school go, and because I wanted to give myself the opportunity and have no regrets. The trouble is, I love my life here (I'm overseas). I've met some terrific people and had adventures the likes of which I never thought possible in high school. This place is my home now, and I'm very torn about what I should do if I'm lucky enough to be accepted to the other school.. starting a new experience wouldn't be too bad, but leaving this life behind would be. :(</p>
<p>First of all, congratulations on getting into your dream school. I'm attempting to transfer from one four year school to another, so I want to get out. For CC people, it's like graduating from HS. You're being forced out because your time is up. I've seen some posts from CC people glad to get out of there and not look back, but I imagine those kids were just counting down the time until they could get out. It sounds like you made the most of your experience, much more than I would have if I was at CC. I'm not scared of transferring at all. I'm excited to be meeting new people and being in a new place.</p>
<p>i am very ambivalent about it. It makes it hard for me, b/c i am at a really fine school (Cornell U) to begin with. Thus, my wanting to transfer does not stem from academic reasons. It is more of an environment switch, the opportunity of living in a large city, which Columiba and Penn would afford me. I am kind of nervous of making a switch just for this reason, b/c who knows if all of the trouble of making such a switch will be beneficial in the long run. I am doing quite well academically now (probably above a 3.8+ for this semester). Transfering could definetely jeopardize my academic success. Who honestly knows!</p>
<p>Let the future be good for all</p>
<p>I am terrified. I just joined a fraternity this semester, so I don't know if I can leave them behind and start fresh. My current school (W&M) is fine academically, I just hate being there. I really have no idea what I'm going to do if I'm accepted to the 2 schools I applied to.</p>
<p>I'm a hs senior, and I'm just wondering, is it hard to make friends if you transfer schools? Well, you guys haven't transferred yet, but your opinions would be helpful.</p>
<p>I was just talking to my friends about this very topic! I too am already at a spectacular college academically, and even environmentally...but like sub_atomic I just can't seem to let the one college that "got away" go. I feel as if I already have so much going for me at NYU (Stern). Not only have I already been elected to 3 EBoard positions, but one of the Eboard positions is a nationally recognized position (National Communications Coordinator of NYU). In fact, this summer I'll be traveling to a National Conference in Berkeley (all expenses paid for) BECAUSE of this position. How can I represent NYU at Nationals, then turn around, deny the position, and let all of my EBoard members down? Unless Penn offers me a substantial financial aid package (supposing I get in), I honestly don't know if I'd accept... though, of course, I REALLY do want to be admitted to have the options open. In due time, everything will work out. It always does. Best wishes to everyone in the next following weeks!!!</p>
<p>No, I am not scared. I hate Community College. "Just thinking about those small, tender Whitecastle burgers makes me wanna burn this motha ****a down."</p>
<p>I'm at a CC right now, and I am counting down the days! June 8th...seems so far away. Hang in there everyone!</p>
<p>Although I haven't gotten into my 1st choice yet, I am happy that I am 100% not going here for another semester. 2 weeks till I'm gone!...unless I need to send final transcripts</p>
<p>I'm happy to get out of CC, and even moreso that I only needed to stay one year. I enjoyed my classes, and just took my experience as a mean to an end. I'm am so thankful I no longer have to be 'embarassed' about being at a CC...Well, it never entirely bothered me, because I'm still pursuing my education; I just hated having to hear people say "Oh, you're attending a JC? I always thought you were going to go to UC So-and-So." </p>
<p>I will finally be getting what I need and could not be more excited about it.</p>
<p>I'll still apply to UCLA in the Fall even though I'll be at UCI. Like some of you guys, I don't want to regret not taking the opportunity to get into my top choice. Regardless the outcome, I'll be happy.</p>
<p>a little b/c cc classes are mostly straight forward w/ exams on material covered in class. </p>
<p>I am alos not clear about my major. I's a long story, i mentioned it here about two dozen times at least.</p>
<p>I am scared of not transferring.</p>
<p>i am scared both ways.</p>
<p>im scared to remain here for the rest of my undergraduate years.</p>
<p>im scared to begin new (again) and meet new people (again), who have already made their friends and cliques. im nervous about housing. im concerned if ill be behind others who are majoring in the same thing. everything is so tentative.</p>
<p>i wanna go to community college next year, and transfer to UC berkeley. but i'm terrified that i won't make it and i'l regret my current opportunity to attend SFSU next year as af reshman..but i really don't think i wanna go there...i'd love to go to berkeley instead, i'm just scared they'll reject me as a transfer no matter how hard i try = (</p>
<p>Im not scared at all my one regret would be leaving the great friends I have made and my fraternity brothers. Im at Hofstra University in NY, applying to transfer to USC. I went and visited and stayed with a friend of mine and went to his classes, and I met a lot of great people in the 3 days I was there. I won't have any problems making friends. I will also be in Marching Band and my same fraternity. Only thing I'm scared about is not being accepted becuase I would give my first and second born children to go to USC.</p>
<p>I hope your chilren don't read this post in the future...!</p>
<p>I won't let them read this site. LOL.</p>
<p>This is my second semseter at my cc. I really like it and I have met some cool people. I am looking forward to transfering to loyola (my dream school) or UIC. But that thought won't be for another year....sad!</p>
