<p>So lets take 2 colleges: Villanova, and Lasalle.(These are not the actual colleges, just made up ones)</p>
<p>You start your freshman year at Villanova, but get into trouble during the year. The college doesn’t kick you out, but you want to transfer to Lasalle for your 09-10 sophomore year. But you realize that you will have to pay more money at Lasalle, and you won’t have to pay any money at Villanova because you were already a student there. So you decide that you are gonna go to Lasalle for your sophomore year, then go back to Villanova for your junior year. The colleges are a good 2 1/2 hours away from each other, so if you knew you were gonna go back to Villanova after going to Lasalle, would you want to date someone, or get involved in a relationship with someone at Lasalle? Or will it not be worth it, because you’d be leaving again your junior year to go back to Villanova?</p>
<p>If you have a specific person in mind, go for it. If you’re going to get involved for the sake of getting involved, wait until you get to your new college.</p>
<p>I have a bigger question, why would you pay more and go through the hassle of transferring just to go to another school for one year and not even graduate from there?</p>
<p>If the person was attending Villanova on a scholarship and then left Villanova, the scholarship is gone–poof. The person doesn’t get the scholarship back if he/she decides to return after attending a different college for one year. The plan doesn’t make any sense.</p>
<p>RE: the relationship part of the question—What’s the big deal here? Dating doesn’t mean that you have to marry the person or have a serious relationship.</p>
<p>^i personally left caltech for a year and got my scholarship back after i came back</p>
<p>it depends on the school probably</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>well when i was gone from caltech i didn’t put any effort into making or maintaining friendships at all because i knew i would have to leave and most of the people there kind of sucked. but i did know a guy who was here for a year and he did get involved in a relationship. so of course it depends on your personal style</p>
<p>Nysmile, the first college he went to, he did not get a schlorship. He got the schlorship from the second college he is going to. But he will still have to pay the college even on a schlorship because it’s not a state school. The first college he went to was a state college, so it costs less, and because he already attended it, he won’t have to pay any money if he goes back. And he is going back to the first college next year.
I think you misunderstood my question.</p>
<p>I’m still confused about the whole transferring for one year and then going back to the original college plan. I’m very confused about how this person can return to the original college and not have to pay anything to attend. Anyway, I think your real question is–Would it be worth dating someone at one college when you know you’re going to be leaving in a year? </p>
<p>My answer is–Yes. Young people should date and meet a variety of different people. They have their whole lives ahead of them for marriage and commitment. Right now, they are still growing socially and emotionally. Meeting people, socializing with people, and dating people are all part of process that helps to develop you as a well rounded and socially aware person. In my opinion, it doesn’t make any sense for someone to spend an entire year living as a hermit when they could be out meeting new people and enjoying their company.</p>
