[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Muhlenberg and ended up transferring after sophomore year. It's a weird place. Too small (you are going to just see the same people everywhere), very limited social options, absolutely nothing in the surrounding area. 
 
I was an athlete so went in with an immediate social group, but I still didn't end up really finding my strongest group of friends and sense of belonging until the spring semester of that first year. So I agree with others advising to be open and give it a chance while working on transfer apps to keep options open. Overall I made some good friends who I'm still in touch with and had some really good times, but I just couldn't imagine two more years at that school and had to get out. [/quote]

And that is the Catch-22 for many. Even with friends, a small school in boring / rural area is still a small school in a boring or rural area.[/quote]

Rural areas are not boring to everyone. But the school does need to step up (and the kids as well) to contribute and offer activities. Kids who like having their social life revolve around the school will like this. My kid does. [/quote]
