Is It Time For Me To Transfer?

Transfer Students

<p>I am currently a freshman at the university of pittsburgh and some of my pros and cons for transferring are as follows.</p>

<p>Pros

  • Pitt was not my first choice at all and I arrived with the intention of transferring.
  • I hate the weather
  • I dislike the campus
  • I have a 4.0 and can get into better schools.</p>

<p>Cons

  • I have made a lot of great friends</p>

<p>If I am to transfer I would to Cornell, University Of Southern California, or University Of Miami. My main concern is if I give up the network I made here at Pitt will it be hard to create a new social circle at the next school? Do kids generally struggle or will I be fine since I have been good at making friends my whole life.</p>

<p>Cornell’s weather won’t be an improvement, could even be worse! I think if you are good at making friends and get involved in clubs or activities - really make an effort, you should be fine. I think a lot of the friends made in freshman year go by the wayside as kids get more comfortable at college. Good luck!</p>
