It's not so much that I really don't like it, it's just that I don't think it's just right for me, as in I think I'd be better off and consequently slightly happier elsewhere.
I think it's a great place, and I wouldn't be miserable if I had to stay. I would just rather transfer. There are nitpicky things, but there would always be that with any school. I won't get into the not as major things. I'm not too keen on how things are socially, and I don't like that as a solution my upperclassmen friends told me they just get off campus and go to Harvard or MIT (nice parties, nonetheless), especially on weekends. Boston's nice, accessible, and so on. My friends and I often go into the city. Weekends are dismal and dead. Academically, I don't like the way the languages departments are set up. I'm taking two languages in two different departments. I also don't like how the intro courses are. I mean, an intro course is what it is, but I don't like the attitude the professors seem to have towards them and the reputation they have amongst the students as a result. I do really like what I've seen of the American Studies and IR departments though.
But really, all that's just me, and there are definitely more pros than cons. I do like it, to a degree; as I said, I just don't think I'll stay.
