Yeah, your right. I won't let any one person or event have that much effect on where I choose to transfer. I really just shared this because I found it interesting, not because it was going to have any major effect on my future.

This off topic, but I noticed you mentioned engineering so can I ask if you did go into engineering which field did you study? And are you still enjoying it after graduation? (Engineering is an area I've been looking into, in particular Mechanical and Aero/Astro.)

I'm glad you asked. Electrical Engineering. I enjoyed the theory classes a lot (freshman and sophomore years), but not the application later on. I highly recommend that you take the Myers-Briggs test to determine your strengths and likes/dislikes:

I wish I had taken it before college. Right now I tutor math and physics. I don't work in Engineering because I hate it. I hate the writing, I hate experimentation, I don't really like building things or figuring out circuits. I'm glad I know the math behind it but otherwise it was really a mistake for me, I'd have been better off sticking to theory. The MBTI told me that, but by then it was too late. I just hope I can find an Engineering job I can tolerate, cause I need the money. I'm not too hopeful though.

Maybe I painted kind of a negative picture there, cause of the mess my senior year was mostly, but I did love college overall.
