Should I Transfer to Queens College or Stay at My Current School?

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.

having a rough last semester

hi yall. im about to graduate and my life is a mess. my grandma has been sick and in the hospital. she has horrible insurance so we’ve been trying to figure that out, it’s a lot of money and my mom has had to miss so much work being at the hospital with my grandma. she was sick with someone else, but at the hospital, they found a lot of different problems, and are suspecting breast cancer. this has caused me to miss so much class. one of my teachers is about to fail me. i’ve gotten two awards from school, but now im feeling like a fraud. i want to go to law school, but now im terrified. does anyone have any advice on what to do? i think ill still be able to graduate since i have 2 majors im completing, but with an f for my other major, ill be missing credits. i’m trying to explain to him that im going through a hard time but he’s not having it, which honestly, i understand. i missed so much class without emailing because truly, ive been completely succumbed by fear and anxiety about my grandma. she’s my best friend and it is the hardest thing in the world seeing her like this. idk. kinda just asking for advice or whatever. thanks!

Hi everyone!!

I applied to the MHC program at Queens College and got accepted, and I'm and I was wondering if any current or former students at the program would be willing to speak about their experiences (positive or negative). What are faculty like, what is your cohort like, do you have research opportunities?

I want to eventually pursue a PhD - if any students went on to do so, do you think your education at Queens College was helpful?

Feel free to DM if it's easier as well - this is all super helpful!

Thanks sm

Hi everyone! 👋🏽

I’m helping start the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) at Queens College, a global organization that supports students interested in engineering and tech 👩🏽‍💻⚙️✨💕

This club is open to all STEM majors (not just coding!), and we’re planning events like resume workshops, interview prep, networking events, guest speakers, and mentorship opportunities 💼

We’re also hoping to attend the WE26 Conference, where students can network with top companies and even interview for internships and full-time roles 👀

If you’re interested, please fill out this quick form (takes ~1 minute)! It really helps us build the club and plan events you’d actually want to attend 🫶🏽
