Transferring in Spring'11

<p>so i'm not transferring in the fall, i have to wait till spring (GPA isn't high enough).
is it going to be hard to make friends since i'm not only a sophomore transfer student, but i'll be a transfer mid-year.</p>

<p>this is off topic but why not just go to another schooL? their are other schools in texas with good business schools and what not? just wondering anyway</p>

<p>because it’s UT thats why!!! lol no other schools compare.
anyways i’m in the same boat as you too :(</p>

<p>plenty of other schools compare lol you could always do graduate work at ut</p>

<p>i’m not going to need graduate school.
anyways can someone PLEASE answer my question.</p>

<p>@mirandaaa major?
and to answer your question how hard was it for you to make friends at the college your at now?</p>

<p>accounting.
no it was not hard, but that was because i am a freshman, and EVERYONE was in the same boat. but i’m not only going to be a transfer, but a SPRING transfer.</p>

<p>im pretty sure you will make friends fast, if your living on campus it should be pretty easy your roommate will probably know quite a few people.</p>

<p>I hate to rain on your parade but, McComb’s doesn’t accept students for the spring semester.</p>

<p>@ampzor o i think your right, i forgot about that but its been said on these forums already…</p>

<p>o i know that.
i was going to do economics for the spring then transfer to accounting in the fall.</p>

<p>why not just stay where your at then transfer in the fall? just wondering</p>

<p>i want to make friends before i become a junior.
i don’t want to be a junior living in the dorms.</p>

<p>try networking on facebook</p>

<p>i don’t have a facebook.
and i rather make friends in PERSON, than a social networking site.
i’m THE EARLIER THE BETTER.</p>

<p>you cant go in the spring and transfer in the fall. UT requires you stay with the school you are in for 2 full school semesters.</p>

<p>If you join organizations and actually participate in them, you will have no problem finding friends. You also have to take an intro business course, BA 101, where you will also make friends. Don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>Screw friends. They will just hold you back from getting a baller GPA.</p>

<p>Just kidding. Well, kinda. ;)</p>

<p>I think you mean a girlfriend… ;)</p>

<p>I disagree with the idea that you need to make friends as soon as possible, as if it would be any harder to make friends when you’re 6 months older, or is if you’d “fit in” any less if it were 6 months later, or that your friendships would be any less meaningful because you made them 6 months closer to graduation. Some of the best friends I made in college were made during my senior year. And they ranged from freshmen to graduate students. And remember a lot of people don’t even graduate in 4 years. And remember any given junior could be anywhere from 19 to 21 years old, depending on when they were born in the calendar year and when they started elementary school.</p>

<p>I think you need to slow down and see that you “do it right”, not rush into things in an imaginary race against time. You can’t force or control the human heart, either yours or other people’s. You’re living an illusion and my bet is that you’re racing away from your current situation and not seeing what is right under your nose. And if you keep up this pattern, I bet you’ll be trying to race away from UT to somewhere else in another year or so.</p>

<p>You should maximize every moment of your life, no matter where you are. Because tomorrow is never guaranteed. All you have is today. And all the hurrying in the world won’t ever change that.</p>
