Unhappy and now CC is blocked

College Life
1

<p>I’m currently a freshman at a small lac. My school is more religious than I ever could have imagined and I feel like I don’t fit in. I’ve expressed this feeling towards my parents but I haven’t actually revealed that I want to transfer. I’m not sure if I am actually asking you guys something or just venting. Sorry! </p>

<p>To top everything off, I found out that my school blocked CC today. Their filter claims that it is for plaigarism. I am so thankful that I have Internet on my phone and can still come onto this website!</p>

<p>That sucks they blocked the site. It seems a bit extreme.</p>

<p>Have you looked into transfer options?</p>

<p>I have looked at places to transfer for my sophomore year but I feel really confused. Many of them require 30 credits which I won’t have by the end of first semester unless I count my AP credits. The process seems so different from freshman admissions. </p>

<p>As for the schools, I’ve looked into UGA, Auburn, and Clemson. I love that Auburn and Clemson are smaller than UGA but UGA would be cheaper for me (in state).</p>

<p>OP, glad you have options for internet access! What school do you go to that would actually block CC?</p>

5

<p>I don’t want to say which school but it is very close to Clemson. I knew that they had a web filter before but it must have updated or changed in the past 24 hours because I’ve been on cc since college started.</p>

<p>I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re at Bob Jones. </p>

<p>And then I’m going to call bull that you didn’t know it was that religious. The student handbook dictates what kind of dress you have to wear and whether or not you can even TOUCH someone of the opposite sex. Yeah… the student handbook is a hoot. No, really: <a href=“http://www.bju.edu/student-life/student-handbook.pdf[/url]”>http://www.bju.edu/student-life/student-handbook.pdf&lt;/a&gt; it’s hilarious.</p>

<p>He/She is probably at SWU. Go to Tri-County Tech for a semester then transfer to Clemson. If you still want a christian school look into Anderson University. </p>

<p>If it is Bob Jones I agree with roman.</p>

8

<p>No, it isn’t Bob Jones. I would have left in a matter of seconds if that was my university. I do agree with you that their student handbook is quite hilarious.</p>

<p>Edit: your suggestion is my university.</p>

<p>In that case, I still go with the hilarious handbook. </p>

<p>And I’m off the limb now :). </p>

<p>If you really hate it, would you be able to switch to a CC next semester assuming your transfer doesn’t go through?</p>

<p>Wow! I really didn’t expect all of these replies. I will stick it out for the next semester though. The academics are completely fine; for me, it’s just the social aspect. It is my fault that I’m here anyway because I should have realized that the school’s environment would correlate with the social atmosphere.</p>

<p>You should move out of Iran / N Korea / insert oppressive regime led country here.</p>

<p>Hilarious Handbooks: Check out Pensacola Christian.</p>

<p>Soccer teammate of my son actually got sent there; his parents did not want their child (age 19) “corrupted” by “unsupervised children” but life has a funny way of taking its own turns. He “had” to get married to the girl he met there…and a baby was born about 5 months later.</p>

<p>Needless to say, both were expelled.</p>

<p>He wanted to be a medical misisonary. The last I heard of him he was working as an orderly at a local hospital.</p>

<p>Boys, those stories make me so sad.</p>

14

<p>romani, these stories make me sad too.</p>

<p>The parents were of this boy were about the only ones H and I didn’t get along with; the parents couldn’t get along with any one who believed or did differently than they did. We were always somewhat surprised that they let their son play travel soccer on this team. Their children were all homeschooled and they used to travel to tournaments in a huge RV bringing all of them along–they never stayed in the hotel with the rest of the team.</p>
