Hi everyone! I am a first-year student at a small liberal arts college in the rural midwest. On paper, this school seemed like a great fit, but I’ve had a very difficult adjustment to college life. While I like my classes and am doing well academically, I’ve had a really hard time “fitting in” and to be honest cannot see myself lasting four years at this school. I’ve tried to join clubs and get involved, but I still am not doing well emotionally. I was thinking about transferring to an east-coast school closer to home but was honestly not sure what to do. I’d like to be at a larger school in a more urban environment.
I want to major in political science (pre-law track), so I was looking at Georgetown and George Washington University as potential transfer schools. I know Georgetown is a long shot, so I was wondering if anybody had recommendations for academically rigorous mid-size schools with strong pre-law programs? Ideally schools that offer decent financial aid and support to transfer students.
(And yes, I know that it can take longer than one semester to adjust to a school, but I want to keep my options open ). Thank you in advance.
By pre-law track I was referring to how some universities have pre-law majors or programs (tracks) with classes they want you to take to prepare for law school, and by strong pre-law programs I meant schools with good reputations for sending students to T14 law schools.
