<p>I'm currently a first semester sophomore at Cabrini College in Pennsylvania. I recently transferred here this year from DeSales University.. big mistake. This school is not what I thought it was going to be. I feel like I'm in high school all over again. The school itself is really small and extremely cliquey. It's about 1,300 undergraduates. I am having a hard time socially. I guess it might ave to do that I'm a transfer student and I was placed in an upperclassmen dorm with no one my age. I don't do anything on the weekends besides homework and hangout with my one friend who is a freshman but she is transferring next year. I also visit my old college and other schools where my friends go to too. I came here though because I was going to run cross country and my best friend transferred here & told me how great the school was so I looked into it. But now that I'm here, I'm not so sure. One of the things that I do like about the school is that I'm getting better grades, it's close to home, and I can run. Other than that though, I absolutely hate it. </p>
<p>I recently applied & got accepted to Marshall University in West Virginia and University of Tampa in Florida. Marshall was my number one school when I was a senior but I decided not to go last minute because I got recruited to run at DeSales University. A week before preseason, I decided not to run because I was too scared and afraid of not being able to handle it. So basically I went to DeSales for nothing. I had a great freshman year though, socially anyways. I left due to academics and financially it was too expensive.
I went to visit Marshall last weekend & I loved the campus but the area isn't all that great. It's in the country and the surrounding area seems to not have much to do. It is a bigger college and a lot cheaper. Tampa on the other hand is in Florida.. warm weather! I hate the cold! It seems like a good school from what I see online and in videos. I haven't gotten the chance to go visit it yet but I am going to an accepted students day thing in Philly next Wednesday. Tampa is much more expensive than Marshall but still cheaper than Cabrini. I still also heard that students at Tampa are a lot more snobby. Is that true? I can be a really shy person so It's hard for me at times. </p>
<p>So basically, I don't know what to do. Part of me wants to suck it up and stay at the school I'm at but then I also want to be able to look back and say that my college years were the best years of my life. I don't want to regret anything. I know you are going to college for an education but socially it's just not working for me. My parents are completely okay with whatever decision I make. I also am perfectly fine with not graduating on time. My mom says that is normal to not graduate within 4 years. </p>
<p>Any tips or advice on what to do? If I do decide to transfer, which school would be better?</p>
