Transfer? Tufts and Northwestern

<p>Senior year, after being rejected from two of my dream colleges, I somewhat reluctantly went out of state to the University of Michigan. It's a fun school, but after spending a year there, I don't know if it's for me. With 25,000 undergrads, Michigan is HUGE. Although many people say it's easy to make a big school small, I feel overwhelmed. I have 400 person lecture classes, and my smallest class was about 35 kids. I want a campus with a smaller sense of community, and a sense of community that doesn't just derive from sports. I want a school that's focused on the undergrad experience, and where I don't just feel like a number. I'm not really all that excited about going back to school, but I'm worried that I won't be happier anywhere else, since every school has its problems. Also, I'm scared to transfer, which I also know is not a reason not to do so.</p>

<p>So, I have been accepted to Tufts and Northwestern (one of my dream schools), and I'm stuck on what to do. Do I transfer, and if so, to which school? I'm interested in English and psychology (i know, Michigan has great departments for both). If anyone can tell me any thoughts on any of the schools or what I should do here, I would really appreciate it. I'm so stuck.</p>

<p>Also post on the College Search & Selection forum as your question includes other aspects of these school outside of transferring, and that forum gets a lot more traffic.</p>

<p>Congrats on whichever you choose!</p>
