<p>I am currently an English major at URI, but I am incredibly unhappy with the English department. For this reason, I plan on transferring in the Spring of 2014. The only problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to apply!</p>
<p>I'm looking for a school in the New England area (preferably Massachusetts as I'm fron Rhode Island) with a strong English department. I'd like to attend a school which offers a great deal of options in terms of focus and fields of study, as I'm interested in studying English, writing, and women's studies. However, English is my most prominent focus, so I would rather study English alone at a school with a good English program, than all three at a school where all three aren't that amazing.</p>
<p>I'm really interested in the idea of studying comparative literature, so it would be nice to have that option as a focus to my studies!</p>
<p>I’d suggest you also post on the College Search & Selection forum as your specific question is about the schools, not the transfer process.</p>
<p>That said, you might want to give people some idea of your stats and financial circumstances (eg. do you need FA?) so that they can give you schools in a range that is reasonable for you.</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip! Sorry, I wasn’t sure of where to post. I’ll definitely post over there.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, my GPA is 3.7 and my SAT score was 1700 … not exactly the greatest, but I still feel as though I’m entitled to a more challenging program than what URI offers.</p>
<p>As far as financial circumstances are concerned, I definitely do need financial aid of some description. I’d say my “budget” would be about $45k/yr, which seems to be the average tuition amount for all of the schools I’ve been looking at recently anyway.</p>
