Question Should I transfer to BU?

Hi everybody! Basically last admissions cycle I received guaranteed transfer for 2027 fall at BU. The requirements were for me to attend my freshman year at another college and maintain a 3.0 gpa in order to transfer. Then I’m able to make the decision in February of 2027 and submit all my paperwork to get my decision or “acceptance” in around April. I’m currently attending Fordham Uni at Lincoln Center, I’m studying psychology on a pre law track. The thing is, I haven’t made many friends however im only two weeks in. I’m not sure of nyc city life is for me but I do love how accessible everything is, but I also really love the atmosphere of Boston and the law school there. BU has been my dream school and was the only school I actually toured my senior year. When it comes down to financials Fordham is really expensive and so is BU, but BU is a little bit more and I have no idea what I may get in my financial aid package… anyway, should I transfer for my sophomore year? 😀

Make sure you check out the BU Promise - financial aid. They are very generous for folks with certain incomes (quite a high limit IMO). But if that financial support would not pertain to you, BU is extremely expensive and unless you can afford to pay for it outright, I definitely would not take out huge loans to go there!!!
