Considering a Transfer?

I am currently a freshman at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin however I am from Arizona. Unfortunately, Marquette is not what I want and I will be transferring out at the end of the school year for a fall 2013 term somewhere else.

Right now I am highly considering Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles as it is a Jesuit school, on the beach, and pretty much has every amenity I could every dream of.

However, my girlfriend is a freshman there too and I don't want to get in her way of having her own college experience. I have reflected deeply and know that she is not part if the equation when I consider transferring to LMU.

I don't have any idea what to do. All I know is that I am leaving Marquette, I want Los Angeles, and LMU (more than Pepperdine, USC, etc) has exactly what I want in a school.

What should I do? Am I going through the thinking process clearly?

    If you are sure you want to attend LMU, apply there. If you don't apply, and you really wanted to, you might resent your girlfriend later on. It's not exactly right on a beach, it's up on a hill about 10 - 15 minutes away, and it feels kind of isolated to some students, although not as much as Pepperdine, as Malibu is a longer drive to civilization. LMU is generally easier to be admitted to than Pepperdine, USC, Occidental, UCLA, etc, so your chances are better.

    Only you know if you are thinking the process clearly. There are 6000+ undergrads, so it's not like you'd be bumping into each other all the time unless you planned to do so.

    Good luck!

    You can't transfer between public high colleges- you must are living in the school district. Nonetheless, if you're speakme about exclusive colleges, i wouldn't transfer halfway by means of the 12 months. Stay the place you're, due to the fact that the following 12 months might be better when your pal is there. Plus why go by way of the entire stress and work to transfer? Then you may have even more folks to need to get to understand and it would be dicy what if the people at the new school happen to be imply to you. Or if you're shy it is going to be tough to get used to the new humans. But if no longer then rather its your option now not mine!
