<p>If I am unhappy at my current university, a top 20 LAC, and decide for sure that after one semester I want to be somewhere else next year, how would it look if i finished the second semester at a CC or Extensions college. I'm hoping that by doing this, a competetive school like Emory or Brown, will see that I was atleast capable of doing the work at a similar 4 year university and can review my transcript with that in mind. Any thoughts or personal experiences? Thanks a lot</p>
<p>Wow, I sort of had that same idea. General concensus when I talked to people was that it was a BAD idea. I guess colleges prefer people who seem well-adjusted wherever they are and who take challenging courseloads. (Who would have known?) What LAC are you at?</p>
<p>there have to be more opinions on this subject...</p>

<p>My cousin did exactly this at Kent State. Just say it was because you couldn't afford 4 years of undergrad, and you will be fine.</p>
<p>What school is your cousin now going to?</p>
<p>I agree with TheWizard...someone has to have experience with this! I'm thinking of doing the EXACT same thing...and I hate where I am :-/</p>
<p>Well, I have heard of a couple of people who were even at 4 schools. They were both very bright people with outstanding GPAs who could probably make themselves sound competent on paper -so I'm sure <em>anything</em> is possible</p>
