<p>Carolyn - These threads get so long that bits and pieces of advice do get lost in the sea. I echoed your advice about considering transferring earlier in the thread with these remarks:</p>
<p>"One other possibility is to go to Tech and then transfer in a year or two to Oberlin having saved some big bucks. Last year I recall reading on CC where a student transferred from Tech's Honors College to Penn. </p>
<p>On the other hand, as with lots of students who go to a college/university that initially was not their first choice, you may enjoy your experience so much at Tech that you wouldn't think of transferring."</p>
