I’m a college freshman looking to transfer universities.
I spent my first semester at San Francisco State but really didn’t like it because of how much of a commuter school it was and how difficult it was to make friends (everyone lived nearby and went home on the weekends). I’m taking classes at a local community college now, and am sending applications to a few schools later this month and in March.
I want to pursue a career in Journalism, but Medill seems too exclusive for me to apply into. I figure it’s a better decision to apply as an English major (relatively less competitive), and try to transfer into Medill.
