How much are your loans?

Sorry for taking so long to reply to my own post. Yes, I am already in NYU as a freshmen. I am in LSP, which is a two year program that tracks into a 4 year degree…I will already be about $50,000 in debt from this year and will most likely stay for the 2 years, I am just not sure if I should do all 4. Im thinking getting out with an associates is better than nothing, and although I got straight A’s and am in love with NYU, I realize I may have to leave. I just dont know how that will look, having gone to a private university for two years and then a state school for my final two years.

Also, I dont know if it makes much of a difference, but all of my loans are federal loans, I didnt have to take out any private loans.

If you can it is best to transfer after your freshmen year, but if not an option then transfering after sophmore year is the way to go. In your situation, you seem to already have a clear plan to transfer in 2 years, but after taking on a 100k debt. I would suggest that you transfer after this year is complete as soon as possible.
I think NYU is a great school, but to many they may not care that you attended NYU on a 100k debt and then transferred two years later as compared to attending NYU on a 50k debt and then transferred. The school you transferred to, where you completed your degree will weigh more heavily. If anyone wants to attend NYU for just two years best case is junior and senior year not freshmen and sophmore.
Goodluck.
