i got into unc as a transfer student entering my sophomore year. i put my deposit down at the school thinking it was perfect for me but when i registered for classes i couldnt get into anything i wanted. i tested into spanish 105 and there were no openings in any of the classes. i didnt take any spanish at my previous school so i feel like ill already be way behind. i know they offer summer classes but even with those im not sure graduating in four years will be possible. im also a little worried about my roommate. i obviously dont know him yet but we dont appear to be very compatible and im worried that, as someone from out of state, ill have a hard time adjusting.

on paper unc is my dream school but as the semester approaches im starting to worry. the school i was at before, american university, is weaker school in almost every department im concerned about (mostly academics and athletics) but id have much less to worry about. i wasnt happy at american but i didnt hate it and im wondering if its smarter to just go back.
