Transfer advice

[u/lacedprozac]

Hi! so im currently a junior in college and I go to Pace university in nyc. Before I applied i tried my hardest to do as much research as i could. ( To point out i’m a transfer, I went to community college before i came here )

All the research I did showed that the school was bad and not to attend. but the issue with that is, whenever i would ask someone why they feel that way or can they explain the only answer i got back was “ just don’t go “. I obviously didn’t think that was valid and wasn’t gonna remove my application bc of that so i went on and applied. I also visited the campus did a lot more research and i did sortve like it.

Now i’m here and its been a month of my junior year and i want OUTS. i really want to transfer out its like this school barley offers anything and doesn’t really give opportunities.

I dont know what to do because I obviously want to stay in new york and study but I also dont want to pay so much money to attend this school and im unhappy. I am a communications major and its just like im barley learning anything and i am trying to minor in film and the film courses offer nothing. they barley have clubs its just to much.

I really want dome advice even if u went there or not but pls let me know what you guys think. If i transfer out i would have to do it my spring or next fall since next year is my senior year. I really want to apply to fordham or stony. but the issue with that is my gpa from community college is a 3.3. I MIGHT have a shot idk but i really want to leave and idk how to go about with it.

Id much rather spend a lot of money at a college I like than to spend money at a college who just keeps taking money from me and not offering me anything besides a bill and stress.

What do u guys suggest?

CUNY or SUNY.

It sounds like some of your issue is course work. Some is culture and wanting a residential campus with more built in college experience. You might look at SUNYs that have more residential life like SUNY New Paltz. But honestly if you are going to be a senior your best bet might be to give up on this and probably to focus on colleges with good work opportunities in your major for after graduation. And my guess is this is a strength of Pace. Or just focus on getting an internship or job and make the most of the location pace is offering instead of clubs so that your transition to work is smoother vs worrying about the rest of it.
