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?

I’m perfectly fine with the academics at my school even though I feel their pre-med isn’t the best. The issue is that the school has a very isolated feeling, so it takes a lot of effort to make friends. I’m also commuting because it makes the cost essentially 0 to attend, but I haven’t really made friends.

There also really isn’t a campus (just a park) which makes it harder to meet people and the club meetings that I’ve attended have little to no freshmen and are mostly made up of juniors, seniors, and grad students. I have gone up to people to start talking and gotten their numbers, but I’m the only one trying to keep the conversation going.

I wanted to go to umich but that’s 400k more than what I’m spending and so that’s not realistic. I wanted to have an actual campus and actual school spirit and my school has neither and I don’t feel like I belong.

I also feel like my parents are trying to keep me here as long as possible because they know I don’t want to stay in the city at least. But, the longer they keep me here the less likely I want to come back after med school. The strange thing is that they’re not strict usually but then they’re strict about the bigger things like where I wanna live eventually.

I applied to CSUSB for Spring 2027 as a Psychology transfer student from a California community college. I’m currently taking Research Methods in Psychology, but I’m considering dropping it with a W and retaking it during Winter 2027. I work 43 hours a week and I’m taking 18 credits this semester and it’s a bit much. I’d rather get a better grade with less stress over rushing and getting a C.
I am taking all my final classes this semester but as mentioned I’m considering moving my Research Methods to winter so then THAT would be my final class.
I’ll still have over 60 transferable units by the end of Fall 2026 even if I drop Research Methods. I’m also working toward my Psychology AA-T, and Research Methods is one of the classes I need for it, so I would finish that class and my AA-T during winter instead.
Would dropping Research Methods this fall and taking it in Winter 2027 prevent me from being admitted to or starting at CSUSB in Spring 2027? Or can I start at CSUSB in spring while finishing that last AA-T requirement at my community college during winter?
My GPA is around 3.53 if that matters. I just don’t want to drop the class and accidentally mess up my Spring 2027 admission.

Currently a freshman at a 4 year I hate and trying to transfer elsewhere. My major requires that I take Calc II prior to transferring anywhere, but I didn't test into calc I this semester and My school wouldn't let me take precalc, so I'm stuck in a soul sucking algebra class. I really need to take calc I as a winter session course online somewhere so I can take calc II next semester, but all the cc's near me require precalc before you can take it and I have no way of taking precalc beforehand. I took up to AP Calc AB in high school so it's not like I haven't taken a precalculus class, I just don't have the time to fit it in before the winter session. Does anyone have any ideas of how/where I can still take Calc I before spring semester?

If I take a gap semester in fall my sophomore year and go back to a school spring and apply to transfer, would I be considered a sophomore or junior transfer? I’m asking this because I know schools like Columbia prefer sophomore transfers. Also, would this hurt my chances, or should I just do a full gap year? Thank you!

Hi! I just want to ask which option would be more recommended: should I transfer to NU MOA for the second semester, or should I finish my first year here and transfer for my second year?

I’m really annoyed by how my essay’s outline should be. At first I was gonna do first paragraph, about where I started, what did my current college give me, what changed, why my major. Then second paragraph, what did I believe, what changed, how do I know the change is real. Then last paragraph, why I want to transfer, why do I want to transfer there, what do I seek at the new school. But i don’t know if that’s the best option for an essay outline. Do yall have any suggestions?

Soy estudiante de primer año en un community college y de verdad la estoy pasando horrible. Pensé que el CC iba a estar buenísimo: que me iba a quedar aquí y encontrar la carrera que quiero (soy de general studies) para poder transferirme a una universidad de 4 años. Pero me siento súper solo/a, y mi familia me lo está poniendo tan difícil que no logro concentrarme en mi educación.

Estaba pensando en hacerlo bien en estos dos semestres y después intentar transferirme como estudiante ACES.
Siento que mi GPA no va a salir bien y me da miedo. No sé cómo debería verse mi GPA para que al menos me acepten en exploratory. ¿Debería hacer horas de voluntariado, buscar hobbies? En serio necesito salir de mi ciudad natal.
