I am in my third semester at my local community college on Long Island, NY, and am considering transferring to either the University of Miami or Hofstra University. I got accepted into both schools and would be studying at each one’s business school. I so badly want to go to the U but am quite an anxious person. I am afraid I will struggle with finding friends considering I’m coming in as a transfer, and I am not a full-on partier; I like to have a good time, but I am there to get a degree. I am also nervous about being far away from home and having to get on a plane to get to school. I’m very close to my parents, so being away from them would be hard. I wish these were things that didn’t bother me, but they make me uncomfortable with the idea of going. However UMiami has a really good name. On the other hand, Hofstra is definitely more within my comfort zone, but I feel like I am going to regret the decision of not going to Miami and pushing myself out of my comfort zone and possibly ending having an amazing experience. If I go to Miami, I could see it also being a good thing in the sense that I won’t have my parents there, so I will have to figure things out on my own, and I think that would be good for me.
