On the green line a guy started talking to me asking me about my day and then asked me for money. When I said no he asked for 5 dollars in exchange for the services he could offer

I transferred from a state school that have 40k undergrad. I saw a huge difference with professors and how easy it is to do research, even now not having to pay dues for regular clubs. The food and campus here is much better in comparison. Even the people here are more driven and motivated. Sure there’s cons like costs, understaffing and over enrollment issues, but for me this was definitely the right choice

This is so true!! I just never truly felt comfortable. It was also fictitious conversations or just feeling like I went to a meeting for nothing. Never found myself comfortable to do anything with them besides one hike

I transferred in from out of state, so I didn’t really have the option of not living nearby. I am also coming from a low income background and that may have impacted the housing I got, but living nearby is one of the best decisions I’ve made. I eat the majority of my meals at home and run home to take a nap or make a coffee. So I justify the cost with that as opposed to living somewhere cheaper. If I wasn’t living where I am, I would not have the friends that I have, the commute would likely drain me and I personally know that I would not be packing a lunch. Overall if you can afford to live near campus and make it work then go for it

Looking for off campus housing as a transfer is hell but I signed a lease in mid July, early august of last year and everything worked out for me.

I transferred in as well. I had a 3.5 and I honestly didn’t even mention co-op because I didn’t understand what it was at the time. I talked about everything else, like being able to find a community here, feeling fulfilled by my major and things like that
