Transferring from Mississippi State but where should I go?
Question Posted Thursday January 31 2019, 7:46 pm
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?
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.
