<p>Hello CC, I’m a sophomore at Albright College. I am looking to transfer to another school in the Northeast. I have become more and more disenchanted with my school. So after almost two years of attending this institution, I am ready to move onto bigger and better things. My GPA is 3.16 (I have been battling some issues too, Crohn’s Disease, anxiety/depression) and this semester I have been averaging A work in 4 classes (though it probably won’t matter in the decisions). I have good relations with the college and my professors, I participate in my school’s radio station, I have done some volunteer work, I am about to get involved with the school newspaper and a Buddhist group on-campus. My school doesn’t offer much in terms of groups (the Model U.N. is defunct, political/philosophy groups are non-existent). There isn’t much here for me especially socially.
What I am looking for:
-Albright is very cliquish; not very much interaction between groups, not very accepting of out-of-the-box, quirky type of people. Looking for a place that cherishes diversity and progressive-minded people, very little or no Greek life
-It would be great if my future school had a good radio station, having good extracurricular activities (political/philosophy groups, etc.) in general would also be a plus
-Looking for a student body that is politically active, intellectually motivated people
-Campus-wise, I wouldn’t mind a rural/suburban (college town), outdoors, isolated setting…however, I am not opposed to an urban campus (American University’s campus is urban, but has a beautiful, suburban, nature-oriented campus style)
-As far as my major goes, I am probably going in the direction of Psychology and Political Science however I am considering Communications (in place of one of those two) as well</p>
<p>Thank you, I hope I gave you enough information. I just don’t know what is attainable with my GPA as some schools seem like reaches (Barnard) that might fit what I’m looking for</p>
<p>Lewis and Clark College, Whitman College are examples of what I’m looking for…However, I’m trying stay here in the Northeast</p>
