Advice on transferring schools...10 pts!?

I actually gave advice similar to this to my sister. I am a junior in college and recently transferred to another school. My sister is an incoming freshman and wanted to go to a school that costs $20,000 a year. I told her that she should just go to a state school where the tuition is $6,000 a year. It saves A LOT of future debt. Also, I have been in the same boat with hating a school. I ABSOLUTELY HATED the university I just transferred from. I mean, complete HATE. I told myself, for my sake, I need to go to another school. I really think that you should just transfer to another 4 year university. I wouldn't take the community college route. Most people do that if they fail out of university or lost their financial aid. It would look better on your transcripts if you just transferred to another 4 year institution, also you don't want to take the risk that all your credits may not transfer. Though they should transfer, if the school has high admittance standards, you don't want to take the risk. It would look better on you if you transferred from Howard, than if you transferred from a community college. Also, medical school is HIGHLY SELECTIVE, and it may not look good if they see a community college on your records. They may think that you couldn't handle a university at one point, and had to go to the easier community school. They won't know your personal reasons for doing it, they'll just know what they see on paper. I would just sugguest you enroll in another university, it'll look better in the long run. Good luck!!!
