<p>Hello! I was accepted to Georgetown SFS as a junior transfer this year. I come from a small liberal arts college in the Northeast.</p>
<p>For the name value, ranking, etc. I think Georgetown is a better school, especially for my major (intl econ). However, there are few things that are making me indecisive..</p>
<p>1.
I was planning to study abroad at Oxford, and if I transfer, I will be losing that opportunity. I heard studying abroad can be a big plus in the job market... and it was one of my dreams to study in England.</p>
<p>BUT! Does studying abroad matter more than where my diploma is from, is the question... And I guess I can always travel to England, or try for grad school.</p>
<p>2.
I'm getting a full ride at my current school, but I will have to pay around $2,500 at Georgetown.</p>
<p>BUT 2500 a year really isn't that much, and I will probably get outside scholarships.</p>
<p>3.
Core courses... I have about 10 that I will have to take, and they don't seem too interesting. Like, I'd much rather take one more econ course than some theology course in my senior year.</p>
<p>...Can't think of any BUT for this one.</p>
<p>4.
Because I am a junior transfer and I have a lot of core courses to take, I might be unable to graduate in time.</p>
<p>BUT if I push myself, I probably can... and I don't mind graduating late too much.</p>
<p>So what do you guys think? Should I transfer or not? What will be the best for my future??? I really don't know and the deposit is due this Saturday. I'm freaking out.</p>
<p>Please help! Your insight will be much much appreciated. Thank you!!!</p>
