Transferring colleges?

Transfer Students

<p>I am a Freshman (undergraduate) at Indiana University. I am a direct admit to the Kelley School of Business. I was so excited to come here and on the second day I lost it. Ever since then I cannot stop feeling homesick and everytime I hear my dad's voice i cry. I want to transfer to a school closer to home (Chicago) but I don't know any that it as well-known as Kelley. I'm majoring in Accounting. I was looking at DePaul but I realized that I can't get into their accountancy honors program because I have to be a first time freshman there to be invited into that program. I'm so tired and sick of being here and it's only been 4 weeks. What should I do? Does anyone know what I can do? I'm so tired of this.</p>

<p>And by the way, I promised my parents I would stay here for at least 1 year. I agreed with them that I would get better opportunities if I transferred Fall 2014.</p>

<p>The first thing you need to to is to make sure your studies don’t suffer so when you transfer you have a good academic record.</p>

<p>The next thing is to try to get involved in some activities at IU, My son’s best friend grew up in the North suburbs of Chicago and ended up loving IU. Once you meet some new people you will feel better and then you can decide to transfer after the Spring semester. Transfer applications at some schools don’t have the same deadlines as Freshman apps so you might not need to decide right away. Check the web pages of the schools you are interested in.</p>

<p>Once you have a semester under your belt you will be in a better position to decide and you can discuss it with your parents when you are home for semester break.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
