Transferring Out of Williams—Chance Me

The OP began her first post by mentioning an interest in journalism and writing. She went on in her next post to express an interest in “attending a school with a solid English/creative writing or education program. I am currently studying geosciences at William and may still want to continue my geosciences studies elsewhere (while majoring/double majoring in English or education) depending on where I’d end up transferring.” In a later post she said, “. . . I would like to attend a college in which an education major is available to me . . . ; this is in conjunction with studying English with Earth and/or climate science/geosciences.”

With this range of interests, I don’t see ruling out Conn College at this point. If it met her requirements otherwise for financial aid, campus culture, and community involvement, the shortcomings of the geoscience department might not be as important.

I think that your point about the geoscience course offerings is well taken. She should look at the course catalogue and/or talk to a faculty member, depending on how strongly she feels about this, and then decide for herself.

With interests in multiple areas, I think that Conn College could offer her a lot through their Connections and Pathways programs to help her tie her interests into a coherent focus for her studies, career, and life.
