FRIDAY FORUM

NEED ADVICE: SHOULD I TRANSFER?

Naked advice button 33Dear Naked Readers,

I am unhappy with my current college. I've given it a good two year run, and though the program is good and I have a nice scholarship there, I really don't feel like I fit well there. So, I am considering a transfer. I found a school that I really like and even though the work there would be hard and I wouldn't know anyone, I feel it would be a much better fit for me socially and I'd have a better social and academic balance. The problem is this. I got an offer from this school I'd like to transfer to. However, the differences between my current program at my current school and the program at the school I'm looking at are significant. The classes in the program I'm looking at are set in stone the moment you go there meaning you don't set your own schedule/classes. Therefore, if I want to transfer I have two options:



A. I can transfer into the second year of their computer engineering program. With tuition and room and board and other costs it would probably be close to $30k a year. So that would be $30k a year for 3 years.   

B. I can transfer into the first year of their new program. They'd give me a scholarship that would cut fees in half. So it'd be somewhere in the range of $20k a year for 4 years.


I can also stay at my current school and just tough it out for two more years. I've been thinking this issue over to death and I honestly don't know what to do. I wouldn't mind doing three more years but I'm not sure if I really want to start all the way over, even if it would be cheaper to go that route. Does anyone have any advice or have they been in or know someone that's been in a similar situation?  >> Answer Here
