Because after carefully evaluating all the possible scenarios it is the best decision in my case.

People have given you some good advice here, and I just wanted to add one thing from my recent admissions experience.  I was just accepted to a PhD program (not psych, but another social science) with a 4-year funding package to work with a professor I really admire.  \n\nI wanted to share that one of the most important (and overlooked) steps in the grad school admissions process, in my opinion, is the program visit.  I was accepted at all of the programs I visited, and I was denied by the one I didn't.  I wrote to the grad program directors of the programs to which I was applying and requested interviews with professors and current students.  At my chosen program, I met with the professor who will be my advisor, the dept. chair, the admissions committee members, current students, the head of the certificate program I'll be pursuing outside the department, and, of course, the secretaries (also known as "the gatekeepers" in most programs).  It was a lot of hard work (and quite nervewracking), but SO worth it.  Not only did I get inside advice on the admissions process, I got a "good word" from the prof I wanted to work with and a good feeling about fitting in with the department.  \n\nI wish you the best!

realistically ask yourself why you have that "voice" are you not being challanged enough, or is it too hard, amybe you just want time to your self, maybe you feel that colledge is a road leading you to nowhere.  Asess how important this career move(thats normally where it leads) is, thalk to your school coucilor, parents and carefully accepts advise from friends, I say carefully becuase they may be in the same boat and have a less mature way of looking at the road ahead, if making a few class changes, getting yourself involved in classes that spark your interest and devoting some one on one time to yourself would keep you from giving up all together, then its an option to look into.  Education isnt alwats easy, but if you are passionate about what your learning, you'll get more out of it!

It's a matter of personal preference. If you want to go away for the experience or to a particular college away from home then you should go for it. On the other hand if it really doesn't matter, some colleges closer to home can be less expensive. Either way you're starting a new journey and hopefully you'll get the most out of it.

HA!  that's funny.  Dude, your in for a big surprise.\n\nFor a real eye opener, talk to your college guidance counselors.

Probably not a good idea since you're transferring. Are you transferring within the area? within the state? When you transfer, some credits you have may not transfer at all, or may not transfer to the degree you are working on. And also, your new college may have different core requirements. So more than likely, you'll have to take more classes than you intended--you'll be behind in the long run especially if you take a semester off.\n\nI've moved so many times and gone to school in 3 states that when I finally graduated, I had so many credits that were not applied to my degree. Did they think I took those classes for fun? Sheesh..

I am taking on-line classes now to get my degree in Business. I want to a college campus for 2 years and as much as I may have liked it, I like taking on-line classes even better. If you are young and this is you first college experience go to a college campus so that you can get that experience, but if you have done that than let me tell you have much easier going to school on-line makes my life. I do not have to take the time to drive to and from campus I do not have to rearrange my work or life to make room and time to study for classes. Because I have all day to do an assignment and I am giving my assignment for the classes before the classes start I can do everything early. If you have a family, job, and a thousand other thing that you have to do each day I say go for it. Some jobs help with the cost mine did but I was also able to get grants. I am to get my degree in December only two years and that was because I had to take refreshment classes and I had to take a break because of the hurricanes.

Yes, its better to have a better professor who can teach rather than a professor who is terrible causing you to study a lot more than you really need to.  Usually you can change classes within the first few weeks, not sure about yours, but if you can, then you can try and see if it works, if not then switch to another professor.

My daught was in the same predicament and finally chose by looking on their web sites and deciding where she would feel most comfortable.\nTry also analysing what particular aspects of their courses you most like, not every University has the same content in a Degree.

Guess you wont know until you try.  I spent four years of college to be a teacher, did student teaching and hated it.  I felt the same as you...loved kids, projected well, had lots of friends but teaching was not for me.  I wish I had been able to do student teaching before I finsished college with a degree in education.  In my days, student teaching was the last thing you did before graduation.  I love the teaching aspect but could not get on with administration.  Because I was sensitive to the needs of kids, I had issues with the curriculum not meeting the needs of individuals.  Only trying teaching will help you know and let your mum eat cake while you try.  Maybe she's right, maybe not..only you can know and you cant know til you try.

Over the entirety of my career thus far, I have taught at four colleges, interviewed at seven, and visited dozens more.  Not ONE has had such a thing.  \n\nProfessors *within* a department have faculty meetings (often weekly), usually in a classroom or seminar room convenient to their offices.  Sometimes, one professor (usually the department chair) has a larger office, and sometimes a few professors end up in there during the chair's office hours just chatting.\n\nThe only places for faculty members to meet with faculty *outside* their department are at social occasions, at lectures, at dinners (usually held and funded by some university administrators), or at seminars designed by the university's administration to be interdepartmental.\n\nLet me give you some quick examples.\nI see the other members of my department on a daily basis, sometimes in the department office while we're xeroxing things, checking our mailboxes, or waiting to speak with the administrative assistants.  Sometimes, at random times during the week, two or three of us end up talking to our department chair in her office.\n\nI meet weekly with all members of my department in faculty meetings in a seminar room in our building.\n\nI meet every other week with a group of faculty from lots of different departments in what is called a "Faculty Learning Community," which is a group funded by the administration.  There are about 10 of us, all from different areas of the university.  We are all volunteers, and we gather to work on a project of benefit to the university.\n\nIf this helps, I hope to get a gig as a consultant when your film is produced by a major studio!\n\nBest wishes.

you come up with a reasonable reason as to why you want to transfer - I hate the school I am at usually doesn't work.  Transferring to be closet to family or loved ones (hardship) sometimes works

Hi I would like to give my opinion to help you. First of all I know the stress you are talking about. I was in my masters degree program and it was a LOT of reading, writing and field work. I have however since graduated and am very happy that I finished. On the other spin of things I have quit student teaching for certification because it was very miserable. I decided to take my degree and use it other than a public school. I realized that if something is that miserable, depressing and you have absolutely no joy in it, then leave it. You can always change your mind and come back years down the road. It's okay to quit if you don't like it and are burned out in the major. If you quit you might want to explore other options or majors. Volunteering in different organizations will allow you to get a "taste" of how jobs and careers really are in the real world.\n\nSounds to me like you should quit, but I am not going to make this decision for you. I know the misery, and extreme stress you go through and it's not worth it to stay in. If your ultimate goal is to teach college level, then I would say stick to it because you need your masters to get your doctorate.\nIf you don't want to teach college, why don't you try teaching at a private school? Or even try leaving for this semester and coming back next fall. Take a break, or change careers. If you aren't happy now, then you won't be happy in the real world.

It may stop you.. I think in the section where they ask would you like to disclose any additional information or during your interview tell them the situation.  I think its always best to disclose the information and maybe if you have a recommendation letter from someone at your program that speaks highly of you.. that may help!1 Good luck!

You'll have to check with your college adviser. The problem with changing classes will be to find a class that still has openings and will fit into your schedule. Usually, it's not a problem to change classes unless something is a required course.

Never ever a good idea to date someone attending an institution that you teach for!  Bad move than can cost you your job and your career.  You have to ask yourself...is it worth it?\n\nMany educational institutions have very strict policies about fraternization with students.  You better check the policies.
