My column is dedicated to telling it like it is. I will always give you the best information available to me or the best advice I can. I will be upfront and never hide the truth from you.

The one thing I will not do is you homework. I will try and point you towards the answer or help you find the answers you looking for. Ultimately you will have to find the answer yourself.

I am currently a freshman at State and I’ve really got my heart set on transfering for two reasons.

1.) Money.
I’m from Tennessee and I pay out-of-state tuition at MSU. My parents pay for my college and I don’t want them paying for me to go somewhere that I’m not happy.

2.) Comfortability
State is great and all but I don’t fit into the social scene. It’s a complete party school and everyone there drinks, smokes, and parties almost every day of the week. and honestly, if you’re not greek, there’s basically no way to get involved on campus.

I’m looking for a school that will help me grow. I want classmates who want to go out and have fun but know when it’s time to study. I’m majoring in Public Relations so I would like a good program for that. I’m planning on becoming greek also. But most of all, price is crucial.

I’m looking at University of Tennessee, Knoxville, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, and University of Memphis as of right now. Which would be right for me?

I am sorry you did not like my answer. We don't know you so how can we say if one school or another is good for you. IF we did not attend these schools then we are further hampered in answering you they way you wish.

If you do not get an answer closer to what you are looking for in an answer then I suggest you reconsider my suggestions. In formed decisions are the best ones and you can't make those or should not make those based on the experience of others.



We can't make that choice for you it is something you must do in consultation with your parents. What I suggest is you take time and go visit the schools you would like to attend. You can do so over spring break and long weekends.

Talk to the students and faculty to see if there school is right for you. You may be still in your teens but you are the consumer and your questions to faculty and admissions must be answered if they want you to attend their school.

As you visit each school, and you should visit all before making a choice, make a list of pros and cons on paper. Then after you have visited each school when reviewing your lists one school should stand out. That is the school you should consider attending.

(Rating: 1) I was asking for help on each school. Like important info and things that people think i need to take into consideration while i make this choice. this question is moe geared towards people IN college who go to these schools and have intell on how they work and if they’d fit me. i’m not asking anyone to make a decision for me. i’m asking for advice.
