<p>This will be interesting....</p>
<p>I go to Tulane. I want to transfer for personal reasons.</p>
<p>Not much help, I guess, but there it is, nonetheless.</p>
<p>I attend a small CC in California. Notwithstanding the unfortunate stigma of attending a community college, I love the small classes and campus - this is the predominant reason I am aiming for a LAC such as Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore.</p>
<p>I go to Bard. For the reasons that most people apply to Bard, I'm leaving. It's way over the top when it comes to being countercultural. Half the kids are countercultural for the sake of being countercultural. The school could give two ****s about student life, and the activism is no where as present as they portray it.</p>
<p>RealExample...you'll have a tough time transfering from a CC to a top liberal arts school. Even with a 4.0.</p>
<p>I go to Texas. I do not feel like i am being challenged enough and the school is not as great as everyone portrays it to be .<br>
My dream school is Brown. Even with a 4.0 i know i have ZERO chance.</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I ALSO go to Tulane. I want to transfer b/c it's not very gay friendly, too expensive, not nearly as good academically as I expected lol, weak in my major areas, all about the alcohol...and it just goes on and on.</p>
<p>PS</p>

<p>are you gerardo!! It's jeremy!</p>
<p>RealExample, I think in California, there's really not a "community college" stigma because they're so widespread. More than 60 percent of CSU graduates and more than 30 percent of UC graduates are community college transfer students. You can't beat 20-person classes taught by real professors for $20 a unit. :)</p>
<p>2.5 million people are attending community college in California at any given time - the world's largest system of higher education.</p>
<p>They might have a bad reputation in other states, but we shouldn't let it spill over to the Golden State. Our community college system is a true gem.</p>
<p>I go to Susquehanna University in central PA. It seemed like the perfect school when I applied ED last november, but my view of it has completely changed. The school is very conservative and the county it is located in is full of KKK. All of the races are seperate and most students here are not very outgoing except when drunk or on drugs. There is nothing to do so people get drunk and puke everywhere; I can't even go to the bathroom here on the weekend because the seats are covered with puke. Plus the baseball coach told me I would play here for sure and then he never talked to me after I committed here, and cut me and every other freshmen because he favored the older guys.</p>
<p>I'm transferring (hopefully) to TCNJ for the spring with Ramapo as my safety. I got 580CR/620M/650W and had a 3.6 UW in high school so I am borderline for TCNJ, but he I hear back next week</p>
<p>I am so upset that I made a bad choice, I feel like I've missed out on the whole freshman orientation experience and school pride feeling for wherever I go.</p>
<p>wow. that sounds terrible.</p>
<p>FCYTravis99,</p>
<p>The CCC system rocks! No exceptions. However, I live in an area where most kids go on to 4-year institutions from High School, so when someone asks you where you go to college, and you reply "CCC," you can't help but feel their perception of you trickle down a tier, at least on an intellectual level.</p>
<p>I forgot to say why I'm transferring.</p>
<p>I'm also a California community college student, at Contra Costa College in San Pablo, Calif., and I'll receive my AA in journalism next month. So, it's time to move on and finish my bachelor's.</p>
<p>i go to the university of vermont, and im transferring for a bunch of reasons. not academic enough (people dont care about school at all), way too big (classes and parties are a good 20-30 minute walk not to mention its really cold), distance from home, just not for me.</p>
<p>im transferring to:
wesleyan
connecticut college
Brandeis
Skidmore
thats it for now at least</p>
<p>I went (past tense my parents made me take a semester off after I decided I wanted to transfer) to University of Miami in Florida. I basically wanted to transfer for the same reasons the Tulane students do, too much of a party scene, not that academically challenging, lots of stuck up rich kids. I'm applying to transfer to Northwestern (a total long shot but my mom works there and I know people so that may help) but if I don't get in, I'll go to Loyola Chicago.</p>
<p>I am hoping to transfer Fall 2008, although I will stick it out another year at my college to improve my record-if need be. I am interested in NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. I currently attend a religious school. I want to leave for various reasons: location, social atmosphere, academic program.</p>
<p>I've got a similar situation to MLEVINE07. I go to Hampshire, and I'm transferring for many of the same reasons people apply. It's just way too radical, in its teaching style and in the student body, and no one actualy cares about doing anything, they just like to complain about "the man". It's a pretty ridiculous place. Anyway, I'm looking at BU, Wesleyan, UVA, WashU, and Northwestern, although the list will probably grow a little more befoe it shrinks again...</p>
<p>MLEVINE07, do I remember you from the Tufts ED board last year? Any thoughts of trying again?</p>
<p>Yah, I'm going to most likely try for Tufts again...only now it will be more selective. Hopefully having good grades at Bard will help...however I think I may like Wesleyan more now, it has the perfect program for what I want to do.</p>
<p>I go to Hollins University (women's college in southwestern VA). I'm transferring b/c the academics are not challenging enough for me, the location (sorry, I like my winters cold, thanks! Back to the Midwest where subzero highs in the winter are not uncommon XD), the TOO small size (my school <1k students :/ It's smaller than my graduating class in hs), and well. I'm kind of embarrassed but I've learned recently that I have a ridiculously irrational fear of airports. Not flying, AIRPORTS. I'm all up for studying abroad but flying 4-5 times a school year? Thanks, but no thanks.</p>
<p>I'm sticking closer to my Chicagoland roots this time around. I'd like to move out East when I'm out on my own and don't have to fly home as often... but until then, it's probably not a good idea :/</p>
<p>Well I'm currently attending a community college in California. I was accepted to a few UC's & CSU's out of high school but the only school I've felt like I belong in and was made for me is USC. Of course, I was an honor slacker, and now I've turned it around 180 degrees. So wish me luck! I'm only applying to 2 schools by the way, and I feel like I'm crazy because this time around it counts more!</p>
<p>I'm currently attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa as a business major. I was initially dissatisfied with the academics (in terms of variety/flexibility..especially the honors program), quality of teaching, class sizes, and social life (commuter school = no sense of campus community). It's getting better though, especially since the UH football team just became WAC champs. :) </p>
<p>Anyway, I was thinking about applying to California schools (UCLA, UCB, USC) but the financial issues are holding me back. I have a full-ride here, and my parents really don't want me to give that up. Nevertheless, I plan to keep my grades up, continue getting involved, and just stick it out for 1 more year before I make my final transfer decision.</p>
<p>currently attend a CCC</p>
<p>applying to: Occidental, USC, NYU, BU, WashU in St. Louis, UW and maybe Rice.</p>
