If the money situation doesn’t make sense to your family, take a leave of absence from your current university at the end of this semester. Go home, get a job, and apply for transfer to the places that are interesting to you. If you don’t get in anywhere affordable, or that you like better than where you are, you can go back to your first university in the fall of 2011. However, I fully expect that you will find better options for yourself and you won’t have to do that.

If you click on “Discussion Home” in the upper-left of this screen, and then scroll down, you can find the Transfer Forum. Read through the sticky thread at the top of that forum called “Transfer Admissions 101” and you will find answers to many of your questions. When you have a bit more time, take a look at some of the other threads in that forum. Lots of people are in situations similar to yours, and you will get good ideas from reading what they have to say.

Wishing you all the best!
