Hi everyone, I’m a transfer student who got accepted to Queens College and the Transfer Honors Program, and I’m really conflicted about what to do.

I’m currently happy at my school. I have great relationships with professors, I’m a psychology major and dance minor, and I really enjoy the dance program. I’m also very social and like going out, meeting people, and having an active social life.

The issue is cost. My current liberal arts college would cost me around 25k, while Queens would basically be free.

I also want to get into a good grad school for psychology, so I’m trying to think long term.

For people at Queens:

• What are the biggest pros and cons?
• How is the social life?
• Is it hard making friends as a transfer student?
• Are there good psychology research/opportunities?
• Is giving up a smaller liberal arts environment worth the money saved?

I feel stuck because one option feels emotionally right and the other feels financially smarter. Any advice would help.
