<p>Hello! I am currently a sophomore journalism student at Emerson college in Boston. I transferred here this fall from a state university that did not offer journalism. I am finding that while my class sizes have been smaller, I really miss some of the features of going to a larger university--namely a campus, study abroad opportunities, varieties of resources, and financial aid. Overall, I'm not sure emerson provides enough opportunities for its private school price tag. </p>

<p>I have been looking into journalism schools around the country and it seems the university of missouri school of journalism is top notch and academically what i'm looking for. It also seems to be transfer student friendly. What I am more curious about the social atmosphere. I know greek life is very big. what are people like? is the student body diverse? are people generally down to earth or very high strung and concerned with how they look? </p>

<p>I am also curious about the idea of transferring...again. Has anyone or does anyone know of anyone who has transferred twice? When applying for jobs, is it looked down upon to have transferred to so many schools? Am I better off just staying where I am now?
Any advice would be great!</p>

<p>I don’t have much advice to give you, but I can tell you that I am in pretty much exactly the same boat you’re in. It’s a long story, but this will be my second time transferring. I know plenty of other transfer students at my current university who are planning to transfer a second time. I’m also a sophomore :slight_smile: I’m looking into transferring to Mizzou spring 2013 and I’m hoping to do a double major in Biology and Journalism, even if it might take me a little longer to graduate. </p>

<p>So I don’t know if that helped you any, but you’re not alone! </p>

<p>(I’m also interested in hearing an answer to your question haha)</p>

<p>Why not look into Northeastern or BU, or are they too difficult to transfer into? You could also go out to UMass, which is probably on par with Mizzou.</p>

How are you paying for Emerson now? As a transfer you won’t really get much merit aid anywhere. What is your home state? If it’s not Missouri then you would be paying OOS rates for Mizzou. What can your family afford?</p>
