<p>So
I'm considering, nto too strongly at this point, but nonetheless CONSIDERING, transferring fora second time. I transferred from Tulane to U of Miami, I've given it a semester, felt things through, gone through good times, rough times, great times, awful times, and now I'm just in a place of neutral. And I've come to realize that I'm making the DUMBEST mistake by going to another private school. Everybody here (and it's not even just astereotype) EVERYBODYYYYY is freakign fake and snobby. I hate most people. I've met, though, a lot of nice people within the music school where I go, but I came here only for music...and I discovered I don't want to major in it anymore. I told myself the reason I stay here is for music, but now that I'm no longer a music major, why bother staying?</p>
<p>So, my question to you is...where are there nice, CHEAP, or at least more affordable schools (preferably public!) that have nice people, (and I know everyplac eyou have your rich bi**ches, but still...as a whole, nice people!) and have good academics!
Specificallya long the lines of like theater, screenwriting, film studies, etc. That kind of a genre of major.</p>
<p>Preferably in California, or the northeast. I'm just not sure of where to look, and FRUSTRATED! Thank you!</p>
<p>somehow I'm not surprised the artsy theater major thinks everyone around them is fake and snobby... what would you have to complain about if all those "rich/fake/snobby *****es" weren't around? Sounds like you're the problem.</p>
<p>excuse me!?
you can go and shove it for all i care. I'm not a fake person, I don't obsess over the latest millionares and billionares and sexcapades happening, and am looking for people who want to learn instead of barely doing anything and failing all their classes, sacrificing academics for tanning time.</p>
<p>Frankly I don't know why you answered my question...And i'm NOT a theater major, i'm looking to switch into that, and i'm not the typical kid in anything, thank you.</p>
<p>sstory should certainly not come at you with that condescending tone, however-</p>
<p>her/his point is something that you may want to consider, maybe it is true, maybe it is not, but something to consider...generally if an individual is contemplating transferring for the second time, I would ask whether you are sure you know what you want to get out of college? why did you transfer out of tulane the first time? there are nice people and mean people at every college and i dont think this is something you can really detect much of a difference at from university to university...if this is your primary concern, i might question whether or not you are really giving the school and your peers a shot or you are already pre-judging them...if you are concerned that the people at your school arent taking their courses seriously enough, out of curiosity, why would you think they would take classes more seriously at most other public schools?</p>
<p>if you want to give us your stats we may be better able to help you...however, i don't think you are going to find that one public institution has a much better screenwriting program than another...</p>
<p>Sho thing
I had a 3.97W/3.66UW gpa in high school
At Tulane, I had a 3.8 Unweighted GPA
two classes from high school transferred as college credits = 3.35</p>
<p>Here, I don't know yet whatI have it's only the frist semester, i'm going to predict a 3.7+ though</p>
<p>The only reason I came off condescending to this guy is because he has to flaunt this whole "EVERYONE at my school sucks but me" attitude. It's not untypical for people to deal with rejection by acting like they want nothing to do with it.</p>
<p>whatever the case may be, that kind of tone is not productive in the least</p>
<p>suny binghamton, off of my head, is a school you may really want to look into if your ok with the cool climate...very good state school, more intellegent people than most other state schools, good writing program (me thinks), probably more affordable than where youre currently at</p>
<p>ive heard about good things about umass amherst as well</p>
<p>It looks to me like money is one of your key issues. That being the case, you should first look at the public universities in the state(s) where you can claim residence. Some states grant in-state status to students who graduated from high schools in that state, and/or attended HS in that state for a certain number of years. It is may be possible for you to be "in-state" in the state of your old HS, as well as "in-state" where your family currently lives.</p>
<p>Once you know your residence options, look at the individual universities. California has a huge system with something for just about everyone at a really good price. My friend's son is at Cal. State U. Monterey. He is studying something having to do with TV/Theater/Communications. He loves the place. And, frankly, a school with the Sea Otter as team mascot has got to be fun! Check it out at: CSUMB</a> ~ Homepage</p>
<p>update:
I am now obliged to transfer, I found out this morning. My parents are literally, no exaggeration, dirt broke. We have NOTHING. I can no longer even think about affording a day in this school, so I have to look elsewhere cheaper. My best friend is also going to transfer to the same school because we miss each other like mad. We've been apart for like 2 years and it's just not right :-</p>
<p>If there is no money for second semester, take a leave of absence from your current school and move in with your folks. Then give yourself a semester (or more) off from school while you earn some money and think about which places you can actually afford that will be good matches for you. If your whole year is already paid for, then you may want to just stay put and do your level best to get really, really good grades so that you have a good record and good LORs when you do find the right place to transfer to.</p>
<p>CSUF has a good music/film/theater department. It costs at least $3-4K per year. Perhaps you can go to CC for one semester and then transfer up to UCLA/UCB. But these schools also cost around $25K.</p>
<p>if u want somewhere cheap in CA you should be looking at a state school
CSUMB is one of the cheapest and the students are pretty nice.
CSUF is anothere realivily cheap school
either way csu are your best bet</p>

<p>Yeah, I would have to agree with sstory. I doubt you will be happy anywhere, as you have already found many reasons to hate life and the people around you at two great schools. You should just go to the cheapest state school from your home state, as it will help you to save money before the next school of people come to be unable to stand your condescending nature and you have to transfer again.</p>
