<p>I feel really dumb saying this, especially on a place like CC where everyone shoots for the top, but is it a sign if my mind is telling me to accept the school I want to transfer to but my heart is telling me to stay?</p>
<p>I guess I should put it this way....did anyone else feel sad and even a bit regretful when you notified your old school that you were leaving? I know a lot of ppl here really want to transfer with all their hearts and minds, but for me, the main reason is academic. </p>
<p>I love the school I'm at now - okay, the student body could be a bit more politically active, and it's impossible to go anywhere without the use of a car. And I DID spend much of my first year miserably lonely, but looking back I think that was just as much luck of the draw as it was the school's fault. </p>
<p>And the program for my major is okay, but it honestly pales in comparison to the one in the school I was accepted to, which is in D.C and has an amazing int'l relations program.</p>
<p>It's just that sometimes, I find myself really, really sad at the thought of leaving the friends I did make there, leaving 2 or 3 professors I got to know really well (including the one who wrote my transfer rec.) and even the campus itself. </p>
<p>This school I'd be transferring to, it was my dream school as a high school senior, and I still get really giddy at the thought of attending it, but it's a much larger school (10k) located in the city, while my current school is more traditional, located just outside of the city, beautifully wooded and green, and only has only 3k students - I'm afraid that this new school will challenge me wonderfully with its academics, and I'd graduate feeling really fufilled...but will I still be as happy? Esp. if I desire a personal, warm college experience?</p>
<p>I'm most likely going to transfer anyway, lol, I was just wondering if anyone else had these last-minute "panics" (like "what if I end up regretting it?") and if/how they got over them.</p>
