long.. but i need some advice


Question Posted Sunday January 25 2009, 6:20 pm

i am torn and have a really big decision to make. i am a sophomore in college.. a college which is 4 hours from my home. its hard being away from home because i love my family..and have an amazing job which i love, and gives me so much experience for my future career. i cannot decide whether i should stay at my current school, or transfer back home and go to the school near my house. they are equal in tuition, going to the school at home would mean i have a job, dont have to pay for housing or food, only tuition. staying at school out here will mean i may have a job (still looking for one), so much freedom (living in a house with my best friends) and i know this is the only time in my life that i will be able to party whenever i want and live with friends..basically not alot of responsibilities. i am not sure which is the best decision. if i transfer, there is a chance that all my credits will not transfer, and i will be stuck in school for longer. anyone have any advice? or even just your opinion.. put yourself in my shoes lol. id like to know what you would do. thanks


if it helps.. i am female and 20 years old =)

Well, your in school to get your degree. Although it's fun to party and be on your own, your number one purpose of being there is to get a degree. You need to find out if your credits will transfer or not. If not, how far will it set you back if you transfer? Find out these details and then make your decision. If transferring sets you back too long, I would suck it in and stay put.

Hello, It is best to weigh the pros and cons and whichever decision had the most that is the one you should go with,go with your instinct, your instict is usually right...i would definitley say the transfre would be the best choice but the nontransferrable cradits would be completley and utterly devastating, you should research alittle more to see if your credis will actually transfer,what gave you the idea that they wouldnt?no one wants to start from scratch when it comes to school and there career,its a major waist of time,money, and energy.School is the vital factor in this decision so if you think there is even the slightest chance of the credits not transferring you should stick where you are at and make the best of it while you can. You have plenty of time to work and you can always visit your family, after all you will be living on your own maybe pretty far from your family so its good to have your independence and freesomd right now.Enjoy yourself and try your best, your future is the main factor in this decsion. If you need any further advice you can send me a private message.the best of luck to you, I jope this helped!!
SINCERLY,DIAMOND:)
