Transfer Students

<p>Ok my main question is if its bad if you attended four different colleges? I am thinking about transferring to a much cheaper school near home, work, and get an apartment with my best friends since middle school who already go to the school I am thinking about transferring to. Personally, I think if I transfer it will be economically smarter but I need more opinions.. Heres my situation..</p>

<p>I'm a 19 year old college student and I'm a sophomore. After i graduated high school in 2009, I went to Texas A&M-Kingsville for a year and played football there as well. I left after a year there because it was too far away from home and the football program there had to let some players go and I ended up being one of them. This past fall 2010 semester i went to a community college at home and worked, but was recruited to play football at another school in the spring of 2011. I ended up transferring to Howard Payne University to continue my college football career but its just not like it used to be. The school i am at now is a small, christian,expensive, private university and the football program is not exactly what i expected. Current players for the team are leaving in bunches, and I am basically all alone out there. i feel like the coaches there were hyping their program way too much when they were recruiting me and my college experience there hasn't been much fun. On top of that its a NCAA div. 3 school so there's no athletic scholarships and I feel like I'm paying too much just to put on a football helmet again. I really think I should go back home, get an apartment with my best friends, work and finish school at the University of North Texas. Im majoring in Kinesiology/Pre Phys Therapy and i know that 4 different schools on your transcript doesn't always look great but I really just wanna save me and my families money, graduate and become financially independent. While enjoying my college experience with my friends, family, and having fun at the same time. I think me going to UNT will be economically smarter in the long run since its a public university, and I can find a decent paying job around there as well. Me and my friends have been researching apartments for a while now so if i do decide to leave we can probably find a place by the fall. Any advice will be greatly appreciated thanks</p>

<p>Won’t matter one bit. Future employers will care mostly about where you finally get your degree. Not a big deal at all. Really. Good luck.</p>

<p>The only time it will matter is when you’re actually trying to transfer. If you have too many credits, it could be a problem, but talk to the admissions office and figure that out. If you’re looking at grad schools, I don’t know that they will care that you transferred, but they will require transcripts from every institution you’ve attended since high school. After school, only your degree(s) will matter on your resume, and you only need to list the schools where you attained those degrees. I hope this helps!</p>

<p>Transferring to a cheaper school closer to home is a perfectly legitimate thing to do.</p>

<p>Transferring to a different school because you are no longer playing a particular sport also is a perfectly legitimate thing to do.</p>

<p>I don’t see any reason whatsoever for you to remain where you are.</p>
