<p>I just found out that i was accepted to my transfer college of choice, but now i am faced with the decision, to transfer or not to transfer? I applied because i am not happy with my current college, but i am wondering, is anyone else afraid about meeting people and making friends at their new school? I know getting involved and being outgoing are ways to make friends, but i am extremely worried about this. anyone else?</p>
<p>lol did you read that article somebody posted??? lol, bc if you did Im on the same boat, it started to worry me</p>
<p>It's hard making new friends, adjusting, but you did it in elementary school, middle, high school, and in your first year of college. You can definitely do it again.</p>
<p>I did read the article, i had no problems with it up until then. I know it's only a few cases but it still makes me hesitate lol</p>
<p>You found out? How? I thought transfer decisions were a mid May affair...</p>
<p>Regardless, I wouldn't think twice about it. You applied for transfer for a reason. I assume it wasn't just a "gee how to kill seven hours" thing. :p Go. Socialization is a pretty big given at this point...its not like starting a new elementary school where it feels like your world's ending.</p>
<p>Honestly, the worst thing that could happen to me is not getting into any of my two choices (Columbia/Stanford). I'm not happy at the school I'm in.</p>
<p>Im not sure why i found out so early, while TCNJ is a great school it's not exactly ivy league caliber lol. I agree, i have this problem with making decisions lol it proves detrimental at this point ;) lol good luck with Columbia/Stanford!! If you don't mind my asking where are you now?</p>
<p>Concordia University, in Quebec Canada. An unknown hole some would call it. Its definitely not a lateral move.</p>
<p>So yeah....international junior transfer. GULP.</p>
<p>i applies to transfer after my first year, from smith to macalester. and didn't. returned to smith for this year and am still completely miserable. i'm not saying that will be the same with you, but i tried to tell myself things would be different and they weren't. i would much rather me friendless and at mac, than at smith right now.</p>
<p>What article? Can you post a link?</p>
<p>Oops. I see it...</p>
<p>dude.....no.....transfer. making friends in college is SO easy!</p>
<p>Congratulations jellybean1241! I am still waiting to hear from TCNJ. I hope I get in!</p>
<p>Also, how did you find out about your acceptance? Did you call?</p>
<p>I got a letter in the mail a few days ago...i wouldn't worry, i know someone else who applied who hasn't gotten anything either! good luck!</p>
<p>Congrats on getting into your first choice! I know, it's really scary to think of transferring. My S is having the same problem...deciding whether to stay even tho he is not totally happy or make the change and take the risk. It is a tough decision. You are not alone.</p>
