<p>I’m interested in pursuing a degree in library science, probably at either UNT or UT in Texas (as I would like to pay in-state grad tuition). According to the US News and World Report, UT and UNT are the highest-ranked universities in Texas for a master’s degree in library and information science.</p>

<p>I currently go to UT, and I’m a freshman right now. However, I feel like I’m not quite as happy here as I could be. I feel like the school is too large for me, and that I’m not as intelligent as I should be to attend this school (I feel very out of my league). I got a 3.38 GPA my first semester here, taking 14 hours. My GPA is not as high as I would like it to be due to personal reasons. If it matters, I’m a mathematics major.</p>
<p>I’ve visited UNT a few times, and I feel like it may be a better fit for me (because of various reasons). It’s considered a lower-ranked school than UT, but I almost feel like I would rather be happy than attend a “better school.”</p>
<p>So, I suppose my question is this: would it be worth it to stay at UT for undergrad in order to look more appealing for graduate school? Or would I still be able to get into UT/UNT for grad school if I transferred to UNT for undergrad?</p>
<p>As a side note, my parents are paying for my undergrad education and I haven’t discussed transferring with them; I would like to see if transferring is even a feasible option before I bring it up. And I know that most people would find it beneficial to go to a different university for grad school, but I would definitely prefer to pay in-state tuition for grad school.</p>
<p>I’m sorry for the length of this post. Any input is appreciated. I also apologize if there’s any confusion about the post only being about UT and UNT, lol. These are the only schools I’m considering for undergrad, and the 2 most likely for grad school.</p>
