who else transferred out of syracuse university and why? am i the only person who wants to transfer out?
I am sorry to hear you are unhappy at Syracuse (which was my D’s number 2 choice school out of her acceptances) can you be more specific about what is happening? Are you a freshman?
Yes I am a freshman and the atmosphere is just not for me. Every weekend you have to not only worry about getting raped by some guy, but also worry about getting mugged/stabbed. Going beyond the campus grounds is not safe whatsoever and last week we were actually in lockdown because there was a shooting. That is one reason. Another reason is a lot of the girls are not friendly at all and once they found their friend group they don’t want to be nice to anyone else. You really do need to be lucky and have a cool roommate and a cool floor because it really does make or break your freshman experience. The guys are real snobs and from personal experience if you at least just try to be nice to the guys, they think you will hook up with them if you see them at a party. And if the weather affects your mood I repeat do not come here. As a southern new yorker, I wanted to go somewhere warm but due to finanical reasons I had to come here, but I really do regret coming here. The only good thing is that most of my professors are passionate about teaching even if I am only taking gen eds. I just hope I do well so that I can transfer because I really am not having a good time here and you should be having the time of your life when you’re in college.
Are you a BFA major?
A lot of these are a bit general… can either of your shed some light on the program itself?
