I Want to transfer to California/West Coast/aka not here.

[schroedin]

It's a liberal arts college which means everything is going to be harder than it needs to be. It's nowhere near as big as PSU. It's fucking expensive. But, a degree from this place could land you nearly any job. It's the 36th best liberal arts school in the nation (that's a lot better than it sounds). The campus is 56% bitches and 44% dudes.

sounds a whole lot like my school and i love it

I'd prefer Northern.

[Francois Dillinger]

Kielan...northern or southern?

Yea, i play at Ursinus College. Small D3 school, but we finished 3rd in our conference behind Johns Hopkins and Haverford. i feel like we had this conversation before though... You play ball out in Cali if i remember correctly?

[BreakMyWallet]

wait, you play ball Jersh? where at?

[BreakMyWallet]

UCSD, USD, Loyola Marymount, pepperdine, ect.

I hear ya, i'm kinda in the same situation. not much really went the way i expected this year; whether it was baseball, grades, or girls nothing seemed to go my way. but i have higher hopes for this year, we'll be back at school in less than a month so we'll find out soon enough.

[Kielan]

Yeah I'd like to think this year will be better, but I really have no idea.

[Jersh]

Sounds good. Freshman year is always memorable and fun, but in reality it kinda blows in every way possible. That's why i'm really looking forward to this school year.

[Kielan]

If I don't get to transfer, I'm 100% moving out there after school, but unless I have an AMAZING year at school this year. I'm 90% sure I'm transferring.

[Jersh]

Haha, nice. I would probably go for Oxy, just because I like having a small campus and knowing a lot of people. But UC is a really good school and there are a lot of campuses to choose from. Good luck with everything though, I'm planning on getting out of PA sometime after school. It all depends on what kind of job i can get and where.

[Bracknaphobia]

You could always go really far west and live with Oxer

[Kielan]

I know 2 people who go there, and love it actually haha.

I was thinking UC tbh.

[Jersh]

I was looking at this school for a little while this year, my freshman roommate lives in Laguna Beach and we had it a solid plan going on... but nothing ever came from it.

Here are some pics of the campus.







Only problems with this place are: It's a liberal arts college which means everything is going to be harder than it needs to be. It's nowhere near as big as PSU. It's fucking expensive. But, a degree from this place could land you nearly any job. It's the 36th best liberal arts school in the nation (that's a lot better than it sounds). The campus is 56% bitches and 44% dudes. It's close to the actual city in LA and the beach. And the president you look like went there for 2 years before transferring to Columbia University.

The only other places that I can think of are the obvious places, USC, University of Cal, San Francisco State, University of San Francisco, Pepperdine, and Stanford.

So, here's the deal. I want to leave this fucking place. I wouldn't be able to transfer schools until next year, but I want to. Badly. Currently I'm an information science and technology major at Penn State. I'd like to move over to the west coast, go to school for the same/similar thing, and live over there permanently.

The question is. I don't know many schools over there that offer what I want/I would need a place to live that's not on campus. So this is where I ask you guys, what's out there? Who needs a roommate next year? Who likes me enough to even consider posting in this thread?

I'd like to go to a school that is on the same level as PSU if not better. I'm doing my research but your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone,



Kielan
