<p>I'm looking for large schools in relatively big cities, not necessarily just a college town, to transfer to. I want something that is not too difficult to get into, but not a school that has an extremely poor reputation. Just wondering any options that anyone knows about. Thank you!</p>
<p>You may like U. of Oregon or U. of Vermont. Both really nice college cities, and respectable schools. What state are you located? What kind of GPA range are we talking about?</p>
<p>To study what?</p>
<p>So you’re looking at:</p>
<p>San Fran - Berk, Stanford
Chicago - Northwestern, Chicago, Illinois in Chicago, Loyola
Los Angeles - UCLA, USC
New York - Columbia, NYU, Fordham
Boston - Harvard, MIT, BC, Northeastern, BU, Tufts
Philadelphia - Penn, Temple, Nova
Miami - Miami
D.C. - Georgetown, GW, American</p>
<p>University of Minnesota-TC.</p>
<p>I think, Minneapolis is the best ‘small’ city in the Midwest if not the country. Fabulous arts, theatre, shopping, restaurants, and a great downtown area. So much more to do in Minneapolis than say a typical college city like Madison.</p>
<p>Boston University and Tulane</p>
<p>From your other thread I see that you’re looking to transfer from Richmond, want to study anthropology, and your GPA is currently below 3.0. Schools with good reputations in big cities tend to be hard to get into. Are you looking for financial aid?</p>
<p>Yes, SlitheyTove, that is correct. For many reasons I just do not want to be at that school anymore. I know it is late in the game as I am a junior, but with a 2.3 gpa is it even realistic to want to transfer or should I stick it out. No, I am not looking for financial aid but something much less expensive than UR. And my wording is off, I want a school in a city with urban feel similar to the city of Richmond. Not necessary a major city. Thanks for all the other replies; I appreciate any help.</p>
<p>University of Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>In Arizona, it would be Arizona State University (Phoenix Metro) or University of Arizona (Tucson).</p>
<p>^^agree, U of AZ in Tucson is another good one for you. UR is very well respected, it may be better to stay and finish there, but I am certain that you have your own good reasons.</p>
<p>Maybe a CUNY? I’m not too familiar but it would fit city criteria no doubt</p>
<p>Definitely look into CUNYs (City Universities of New York). They’re not terribly difficult to get into and there are some pretty good ones.</p>
<p>Univ. of SF. I know a girl who is successfully transferring there (non-Catholic) after her freshman year and had something under a 3.0, but don’t know how much below.</p>
<p>paisslleeyys, you’re a rising junior, right? That means you’d be applying to transfer elsewhere for the start of your senior year. I’ve no idea if that’s even possible, since most transfer students change schools at the start of their sophomore or junior year. You’d also have to see if the new school’s requirements for graduation or your major meant you’d have to take an additional semester or year to finish, which could be quite expensive.</p>
<p>In Pittsburgh with your GPA, Pitt won’t be an option. Maybe Duquesne or Carlow. U. Jacksonville if you like Florida. Check into Cincinnati or Louisville too.</p>
<p>I am looking to transfer in the spring of junior year. I am prepared to stay for the extra time it could take for completion of my degree, but I am just wondering if schools take into consideration the type of university I am transferring from. (Not just the GPA as a number) I feel like a large number of transfers come from community colleges. Also, thanks for the replies. I am interested in Arizona, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, and Montana.</p>
