taking a year off

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm currently a freshman at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I'm a pretty good student, but I absolutely hate it here. I have applied as a transfer student for the fall 2010 term, but I won't be hearing back from them until late May. This is an issue because I am required to vacate the dorms by May seventh. I'm concerned that I will not get into these schools, but I don't want to come back here. Not even for just one more semester. I can't do it. If I were to take a semester off next fall and work (or something), would it hurt my chances of applying for the spring term at a new institution?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>It won’t? How do you know? I’ve asked my classmates here and they’ve all told me that It would make transferring infinitely harder. </p>

<p>Thanks so much</p>

<p>Many students have something happen in life that puts their college progress on hold. Gap years can also be a great learning experience. Colleges understand this and many top schools even have programs to assist students with their gap year.</p>
