<p>I made the choice to attend USC and follow the business path with no financial aid or scholarship because it was the "best" school that I'd been admitted to and I thought it would provide many good career opportunities and I also had the option of graduating within 3 years with the business admin major, as opposed to attending a UC and possibly taking 4 or more years to graduate. However, currently I find that I'm often feeling unhappy at this school and I'm not sure if I want to follow through with business. Changing majors isn't much of an option, as I'd rather not take longer to graduate and burden my family further - I still have another sibling who will be applying to colleges soon. I find my interests lie more so in graphic design or web design areas, which USC is not very well-known for. And I don't really have the option of taking on a minor as it would take me longer to graduate. Currently, my grades are average. There are a few classes that I feel I will likely receive a B in. Also, I don't really feel like I fit in with the culture at USC. The whole greek life, partying aspect isn't really for me, and my current group of non-drinking friends make me feel left out as well. As I am unhappy with my situation here both academically and socially, is it best to attempt to transfer (and if so, for my second semester or for my sophomore year?) and if I do choose to, should I attempt to transfer into a school I'd already been accepted to (UC Davis was another option that I was considering for the price because I'm in-state) or should I try to pursue a school that does well in the graphic design area, at the risk me potentially finding that I'd rather not pursue that major later on as well?</p>
<p>How are you financing your time at USC as a full pay student? With savings/cash flow or loans? </p>
<p>@preamble1776 Savings. The goal is for me to be able to find a good job and eventually help my parents out with my sibling’s tuition. That is also why I’d chosen business as math isn’t my strong suit and it seemed like the best option to obtain a decent job and salary.
If I were to attend a school with lower tuition like a UC, money wouldn’t be as big an issue. </p>
