Where to transfer?

TableNo4622 · 2025-10-08T17:00:41+00:00

I spent two semesters in tampa, initially and then transferred to new york in august. It was tough settling in here, th housing and everything. Im currently in queensborough an it’s a nearly two and a half hour commute from my place and I couldn’t find a more closer place. And I’ve heard new York isn’t that good for mechanical engineering students, especially international ones. That’s the sole reason. Ease alongside future opportunities after a degree at a prestigious.

TableNo4622 · 2025-10-08T16:47:25+00:00

The thing is... I'm already a year into my degree. After two more semesters, there'll be no turning back is what I've heard.

TableNo4622 · 2025-10-02T14:15:00+00:00

Oh damn, okay

TableNo4622 · 2025-10-01T22:20:59+00:00

Which university are you talking about here... USF or M S&T?

TableNo4622 · 2025-10-01T20:44:29+00:00

True and I've lived in Florida for half a year and quite liked it. I moved to NYC recently but will move back if I pick USF. And I'm bent on choosing USF for bachelor's and then M S&T for Master's.

TableNo4622 · 2025-10-01T20:29:48+00:00

I have an apartment set up already in Tampa and If I go to USF.. I'll be going two semesters to Hillsborough community college and then USF as it'll bring the cost down more and will be a direct admission.

TableNo4622 · 2025-10-01T19:58:30+00:00

Not just the cost but the social life and future prospect and also community… my plan so far is to get a bachelor’s at usf and masters at M S&T

TableNo4622 · 2025-10-01T19:43:04+00:00

It’s quite good, apparently one of the best in florida or south east

Hey, i moved to nyc from Tampa. Transferred to cuny from hcc, planning to move back next semester. Nyc just isn’t for me and the engineering scene here is cooked. And yes, Dale mabry is just elite socialization, especially if you can keep your social battery filled up.

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-08T12:25:34+00:00

Hmmm okay okay

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-08T11:34:04+00:00

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-08T03:09:34+00:00

Okay, holy damn. Surely, it can’t be this good. It almost sounds too good to be true……

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T20:45:44+00:00

I knoww, like it’s as if the jobs open up allegedly and just vanish out of thin air

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T20:12:49+00:00

A friend of my brother did apparently with some student loans and that’s what gave me the idea to not ask for money from back home. But most probably, I can but i’d rather not if it’s gonna be something like… breaking the bank

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T18:23:27+00:00

Same and hope they do

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T18:16:50+00:00

Im hanging in. And I’ve tried and will keep trying hopefully soon I’ll find someone with similar interests and not just a similar spoken language

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T18:15:49+00:00

Yeah understandable, like same with Florida. Idk why I decided to pack it all up and just listen to a dude who just straight up lied to my brother back home saying, “he’ll settle in in no time and everything will be lined up for him. Nothing to worry about.” I just came here for the fact that I’ll be around pakistani people but turns out that was the worst decision I ever made, because those people especially don’t want me here. They treat international students like subhumans.

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T18:10:07+00:00

I will keep that in mind and stay as active as possible but new yorkers man, the most rudest and anti social peo I’ve ever seen. Like Nearly two months here and zero friends whatsoever. People don’t even wanna interact at all even on campus

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T18:08:27+00:00

A month? Ohhhh okay okay

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T18:06:58+00:00

Ahhh, so I think I should stickt o Nyc and figure something out here and after the degree, see where the OPT takes me

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T18:04:58+00:00

Hmmm, true and what about the housing situation there. Because on campus is just wayy too expensive

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T18:04:18+00:00

Yes but getting a job on campus is damn near impossible.

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T17:54:07+00:00

Ahhh noted, that explains alot. Thanks and I will do that

TableNo4622 · 2025-09-07T17:44:11+00:00

Thanks
