Cool

I applied to colleges this year
as a result i recieved this automatic transfer to Columbia University after one year by maintaining at least a 3.3 gpa at a college of my choice
should i just go to a state school?
i was accepted to 3 state schools
2 of which i was accepted to the HONORS college
would it be pointless to go to the honors college of the state school if im just going to transfer to Columbia the following year?
thank you

i'd definitely go to a state school to save money for Columbia because ultimately when you get your degree at Columbia, it won't matter where you went freshman year. Personally, I wouldn't go to the honors college because it'd be harder to maintain a high gpa. I wouldn't jeopardize the automatic transfer to Columbia.
