<p>Hi! I am interested in some smaller liberal arts colleges, which I would then have to transfer out of after my junior year to continue to study engineering. I was hoping to hear from others that experienced this same issue and the pros and cons. Thanks</p>
<p>From what I've heard almost nobody completes these programs. For one thing, the rate of switching out of engineering for those entering college with that major is from 1/3 to 1/2. Second, you get settled in to a college and during the 3rd year people realize they go 1 more year to a college they like with friends and profs they know and they get a degree, or they could transfer to a new school and start from ground zero in making friends and learning their way around and they have to spend 2 years there. I think a lot of people reach that point and change their mind about transferring.</p>
