Though my current school is not the best fit for me, I am content there and it works. However, I have been accepted to go abroad fall 2015 and then transfer to another school for spring 2016. Both schools are equal for my major and close enough in price. I had a solid year and built great connections, but I just really like the idea of getting to travel in the fall and start over somewhere else. Is this enough of a reason to transfer? My heart is saying transfer, but my head is saying it could be a huge mistake and that it is not worth causing commotion among friends/family. What do you all think?
Why can’t you go abroad for the fall, and come back to your current school in the spring?
If this fall abroad and spring elsewhere is a package deal, why did you apply in the first place? What did you like about that other college/university so much (compared to your current institution) that made you apply for that program? Was it just that it was fall/winter and you weren’t happy at your current college/university yet?
You need to explain what is not the fit and why you choose the current college in the first place.
