[quote=Anonymous]F no!

I found myself unhappy at a large, somewhat competitive private at the start of my junior year. Rather than transfer, I decided that my junior year would be my senior year. It wasn't the Herculean effort one might think, and I stayed the summer beyond my third year to finish up some classes. I also spent that third year securing a job through on campus recruiting. By july, I was working full-time, and 2 years later I went off to a graduate school with a completely different vibe from my undergrad.

I know everyone's situation is different, but we're sharing perspectives here, so I'm giving mine. I don't like transferring to begin with. Unless the situation is truly awful, it's okay to live with some discomfort. I just think people have the bar for that, way too low, in general. Life has its ebbs and flows and you should move forward, not add unnecessary complication. It would take a lot to convince me that my kids should transfer once, but twice? Totally out of the question. Unless there is a very, very compelling reason.[/quote]
