<p>I started at the University of Miami. I was only there for one semester when I decided I couldn't handle being so far away from home (I'm from NJ), so I transferred to Rutgers to be close to home. I told my parents probably 10 different reasons I didn't like Miami, because they wouldn't let me transfer if they thought it was only because I missed home and my boyfriend. I've now spent 2 semesters at Rutgers and though I do like it, I just keep regretting leaving Miami. Now I don't know what to do. Would transferring back be just too weird? At that point I would be a junior and it might be hard to meet people. It might also be a totally different experience than what I remember as a freshman. I also joined a sorority at Rutgers, which I love. There is a chapter at Miami also so I would be able to join there. Has anyone transferred back to a school before? What was it like?</p>
<p>ride it out at rutgers. did you leave u of m for a boyfriend from highschool?</p>
<p>I would say to stick it out at Rutgers. You seem to be doing well, I assume it is cheaper than Miami, and you are loving the sorority you are in. Why are you suddenly regretting leaving the place you didn’t enjoy?</p>
<p>I really liked Miami, I didn’t like being far away from my boyfriend at the time, who yes, was a high school boyfriend. I’ve matured a lot since then and I believe I could handle going far away. I don’t want to live in New Jersey after I graduate, I’d prefer to move somewhere south of here. I regret leaving Miami because I know I left for the wrong reasons.</p>
<p>Well have you been able to convince your parents you are ready to go back to Miami? Hopefully academically you are performing well at Rutgers so you should not have a problem in getting re admitted to Miami. Although I am not exactly sure if their are any added conditions in being admitted to a school that you previously transferred out of.</p>
<p>Most importantly are you going to be able to afford Miami now? There is a good chance that all of the scholarship and aid that you were provided as a freshman will not be available/offered to you as a transfer student. Miami is going to be almost twice as expensive as Rutgers but if finances are not an issue then proceed.</p>
<p>Lastly, Rutgers would not likely limit yourself from moving/working in the south after graduation provided you performed well academically. Also if you plan on going to graduate school or a professional school then it might be best to finish your cheaper undergraduate then move down south for grad school at miami or elsewhere.</p>
