<p>I went to Ithaca College last year with the intention of transferring to Cornell at some point. It worked out and I am here at Cornell as a sophomore. The thing is, I am having a miserable time. My housing assignment makes it impossible for me to easily meet people. I miss everything about Ithaca. When I visit I am very happy. I spoke with them about the possibility of enrolling for this fall and just heading over there before add/drop ends and they said it was fine. I would of course not give up my spot at Cornell, but rather take a leave of absence and return next year probably to get the degree that I want. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Any other advice or thoughts? Thank you so much.</p>
<p>I think you need to pick one and stick with it. Why would you try to attend both?</p>
<p>I want to attend Ithaca for some more time because it is where I enjoy being. I want to finish my degree at Cornell for the opportunities that such a degree would give me.</p>
<p>Sometimes you can’t have everything you want. Decide what is the most important to you, immediate enjoyment or long term opportunities, and act accordingly.</p>
<p>When an employer or grad school looks at your transcripts and sees that half your education was at Ithaca, it effects your overall picture as a candidate. Also, a large benefit of top colleges is the network you form. You have to actually be there to do that!</p>
<p>As Entomom said, choose.</p>
