<p>Wondering if I could hear from a few people as to why they transferred (or are considering transferring), and AFTER transferring how their experience has been?</p>
<p>Does everyone who is considering transferring or has transferred HATE their first school? Or is it sometimes a matter of looking for more because you don't feel challenged or inspired?</p>
<p>Lol is this a ploy to gather ideas for that Common App question?</p>
<p>^ Haha no actually! That would be a pretty crappy essay if I took others’ reasons and wrote about them. Thankfully I have a little more respect and class than that (and good enough reasons of my own). </p>
<p>Im more interested in hearing what happened after people transferred, if they were satisfied with their decision, etc.</p>
<p>I would actually love to hear about this too - I might be transferring (for financial reasons, so against my will haha) and I’m curious about other student’s experiences</p>
<p>I think everyone’s answers are going to be different (if you get any, I think most people who transferred are done with the transfer forums). Schools are different, people are different, situations are different, etc.</p>
<p>I went to a community college right out of high school and then transferred to a 4-year college. I hated the school because it was in a pretty bad neighborhood and the academics were not nearly challenging enough considering tuition is $30k+/year. I transferred to another 4-year college closer to home. The courses were a perfect fit, I loved the professors, the area surrounding the college wasn’t so bad, and although it was also $30k+ a year, I feel that it was worth it (I did receive academic scholarships at both schools, but still paid a decent amount since I was a transfer student in both cases and full-tuition scholarships were not offered for transfers). I am very glad that I took that chance to transfer a second time.</p>
