My plan for this semester was to go to Baruch, try to get the highest grades as possible and then transfer to SUNY Geneseo Spring term. I was guaranteed admissions for Spring term and I accepted it because I thought that it was what I wanted. But now that I think about it I don’t know if I will be able to last in the middle of nowhere. Geneseo is surrounded by farm animals and trees and I have lived in the city my whole life. I love the city and I love walking and shopping around the city. I don’t know if I will be able to adjust living upstate. Also I like Baruch a lot more than I thought I would. I wasn’t expecting to make any new friends because all of my old friends are here but I did. Then there’s the issue with the dorm life…I really want that experience. I feel like you can only have it once and I know that Geneseo will definitely be able to give me that. Also I’m going to miss everyone so much, especially my best friend.
Two weeks ago I told two of my friends that I was set on transferring so they made a bet on how long it would take me to change my mind. One of them bet 3 days and the other bet 3 weeks. I changed my mind after 8 hours. I have no idea what I want.

I see where you’re coming from and I also went through much thought about college life experience. In my opinion you should go to the school that will best train you in your career path if you have one you’re determined to do. The skills you learn in college will be with your throughout your entire life, while the parties will only be in your memory. LOL!

LOL that’s true, but I’m leaning towards either psychology or business. Geneseo is a great liberal arts school and their business is pretty good too.

Baruch! So you don’t leave us! 🙂
After I visited Rutgers University last weekend, I started to really think about transferring too. I loved the campus surrounding feeling and additional to that Rutgers has a pretty good business program. Before even coming to Baruch, I thought I was going to transfer but likewise, Baruch isn’t as bad as I expected to be. It’s still a good school and for what we pay for tuition, it’s great. Go with what is really best for you. You shouldn’t let the difference of getting to dorm or not choose your path to a great career!
Oh, and don’t let others peer pressure you into not choosing Geneseo! I’m guilty, I know. LOL
