I’ve always dreamed of coming to this university… ever since 9th grade, I believe. I love the environment, its location, and study abroad opportunities. However, there are some things that have left me quite disappointed.
First of all, the classes. There have been several occasions in which I felt that I was wasting my money, because I wasn’t being challenged enough, or I felt that we were only touching the surface instead of learning profoundly. In some cases I felt that the faculty wasn’t even trying with the classes and giving us the worst of their professors.
Also, I feel as if there aren’t enough opportunities for me to expand my learning experience, and I feel as if there isn’t really much chance to excel.
Lastly the kind of people that comes here and the social scene. I like this aspect but at the same time I dislike it lol.
Some days, I strongly feel like I want to leave, and others, I feel compelled to stay. This has been my dream university and I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing by attempting to transfer… I’m scared that later on I’ll regret my decision or I’ll end up in a place that I’ll dislike more than this one.
Those are extremely valid reasons. You should go to a school where you will feel challenged and honestly if you’re even thinking about transferring that might not be the place for you. It couldn’t hurt to check out other schools
