Well I applied to three colleges to transfer to after I get my AA in May from the community college I'm attending right now...

I applied to all three schools on Jan.13, 2006.

I got into my third choice right away, which is about 2 hours south, not that great of a school for my major. Which is Mass communications, Journalism or electronic media and film... yet to finally decide yet.

I got my second choice school last week, pretty nice school for my major, nothing spectacular. Its 35 minutes away. I could still live at home, but would probably grow up and move out and get an apartment.

My dilemma is that both of these school require that I put a deposit and commit to one of them by March 1st. Meaning in their hands by March 1.

I don't know what to do. I have yet to receive anything from my number once school of choice. It's a little over an hour away, meaning I would have to live on campus, has a slightly better program than school two, but a lot better Alumni/background which would help when getting a job out of college.

I'd really like to go there, chance things up, experience new people, new environment, the real "college life".....

But I feel like I can't wait to see if I'm accepted and it be past March 1 and then get rejected, leaving me with no where to transfer too...

Any thoughts guys? I was thinking I could always do school two, see how I like it and always transfer from there...

 

what schools are they?

 

3. Sailsbury University
2. Towson University
1. Universty Maryland- College Park

 

oh jesus... stay the fuck away from salisbury unless you wanna party too much, fail out and get STD's.

Towson is a solid school and is pretty fun (i've got a few friends there)

UMCP is a great school but its fucking huge... i was there for a year and a half before coming up here to Vermont recently. Be warned that if you're looking for on campus housing at UMD, you won't get it. Transfer students go straight to the bottom of the list.

If you're really worried about things, I'd say go with Towson. I grew up in MD (couldn't have been all that far from you given the distances to the schools) and Towson has only become better and better. UMD is very easy to get lost at and none of the prof's really give a shit, but you'll leave with a good reputation....

there's my opinion, hope it helped man. pm me if you have more questions, i can prolly shed more light on the schools if you want.

 

Doh... sorry bout the double post.... h:

 

towson is pretty good school from what i know.. even if its only 35 minutes away, it gives you the option to live at home and save some money, or stay on campus and still be close enough to home to hang out with your friends or just go home.

i went to school a half hour away and i live on campus, but i go home almost every weekend, because all of my good friends are still there.. plus i just like being at home.

 

my commute to my CC is 40 mins. So it's not to bad.

Thats why Salisbury is my last. I wanted the nice rep coming out of UMCP but the huge classes and professors not caring is a bit disturbing. Espically for my major where I feel you should stick out more... if that makes sense.

Towson is close, but I guess I could always live down near there to change things up.

 

I know a whore from Towson. Good school.

College Park is a poor answer to State College

 

I'd give you shit for that one... but i recently failed out of UMD and you just graduated from State College.... so... yea... i'll just shut up...:uhhok:

 

yeah just look how you turned out.
