A year later and still cannot decide! Transfer to Tulane?

Hi everyone! Last year, I applied and got into Tulane University (my first choice), and had visited the campus and absolutely fallen in love. After putting my deposit down in Mid-april, I found out I was accepted at the Newhouse School of Syracuse University, and after thinking and re-thinking, I went against what my heart wanted and chose SU.

I have grown up around SU, being an hour away from campus, it always had a special place in my heart. Though after my first semester, I don’t know if it is the place for me. Tulane gave me that “special” feeling most people get at their college of choice–and I was rather disenchanted by Syracuse.

Now I feel I may want to transfer for fall 2013. I want to gain a new sense of independence–and go farther away from home to a new and exciting place. While Tulane doesn’t have the unique and prestigious program that Newhouse does, I’m still interested in attending. There is the closeknit campus, as well as the smaller size and draw of the city. Though maybe I am not aware of the repercussions of being a transfer and it will not be better off for me in the long run. I’m really torn, help!
