<p>Right now, I'm a freshman at Ohio State University. There are a few things I really like about it - I like the engineering program, I like the language program, I like the percussion ensemble I play with (though that's outside of school). Everything else though... I just don't really like. I'm not a huge sports fan, whereas most people here are definitely sports fans. I like to ski a lot, but there's no skiing out here. I like to play music, and the music program here isn't the best. The marching band is good at what they do, but I definitely am not a fan of what they do. I've met a lot of awesome people off campus, but that doesn't really make up for not knowing anyone here at school.</p>
<p>It also feels like everyone's weekends plans are frats or house parties. I don't mind a bit of drinking, but I hate crappy beer and loud parties full of strangers. I'm sure I'll get "but not everyone does that", but it's definitely a large, large portion of the students. </p>
<p>So anyways - I kind of want to transfer. Unfortunately, the reason I came here was money. My first choice was CU-Boulder, but they offered $10,000+ dollars less than OSU did, which made my choice not really a choice. I'm from Washington, and while I could go to school there, the reasons I have for not applying there in the first place still stand - mainly the fact that they all run on the quarter system.</p>
<p>Now half of this was just getting thoughts out of my head - but also, for anyone who has made the decision to transfer in the past, what got you to do it? I don't know how happy I'll be spending the next 4 years here in Ohio, but I don't know if I want to pay a staggering amount of money to go to a school I might like better.</p>
