Hi everyone, basically when applying to colleges last year, everything that could have went wrong, went wrong for me. I applied to 6 schools, was wait listed at 3, and the only place where I was accepted was my “slam dunk,” which was DePaul.

4.0 GPA and 30 on the ACT
4.0 GPA thru 1 quarter at college, Honors Program and Honors Accounting Program.

I do not like DePaul very much. When I imagined college, I imagined tailgating football games, living in a frat house, and enjoying a college town with a traditional campus. I grew up around Chicago my entire life, but the city is not what I expected college to be like.

What are some suggestions for colleges I should look at applying to transfer to? My major is accounting and I would like to eventually become a CPA.

I know that by staying at DePaul, I will have a great job leaving college. My family would prefer I stay close, but when I imagined college is it the exact opposite of what I experienced at DePaul.

So if you were me, what would you do. Enjoy college and be iffy about a job once you graduate, or tolerate college and have a job?

I need help please!
