<p>So I'm thinking about transferring to Brandeis from Skidmore. I pay half tuition at Skidmore ($25000). I really like Brandeis and would prefer to go there. But I don't hate Skidmore and feel that I could go back there too. So is Brandeis that much better that it is worth the money? Or should I stay at Skidmore and make the most of it? I applied to transfer because students at Skidmore (at least the ones I met) did not seem too serious about academics and the academics weren't amazing or particularly challenging. But it has some good professors and I would be willing to seek them out. I'm considering majoring in psych and politics (and maybe some combination of philosophy and English minors). My parents can pay for Brandeis but it seems like they would be very reluctant to. They say it is my decision. any advice would be appreciated. I was hoping that by some stroke of luck someone familiar with both school might see this and be able to give an opinion.</p>
<p>I don't know anything about Brandeis but if it is more competitive/intellectual than Skidmore, wouldn't it be kind of late to try to transfer in for September?
I hope you posted on Brandeis's thread as well. Good luck with this.</p>
<p>I have been taking care of things on the Brandeis end..I applied, was accepted, and deposited..now its just about making a final decision..
I posted in the Brandeis and transfer sections also..</p>
<p>I am leaning toward transferring..I will decide for sure in the coming days..so any last minute comments are welcomed</p>
