Long story short, I'm transferring to a new college and city in January.
The first one, I've already gotten accepted to and paid the dorm deposit on ($500). It's a really beautiful school and in an area that I'm familiar with, BUT it's missing one major component that's really important to me, there's no Greek life and it's a no-party campus. I don't want to wind up at a school bored out of my mind for four years.
The second one I've talked to the counselor and she told me as long as I complete my current classes before Jan 13th that I'll be accepted and she'll hold a dorm room for me. My issue with this is that my parents are not buying that at all. They don't believe the counselor when she says she'll make sure she hold a dorm for me or that she'll be able to rush all my paperwork through in late December and get me accepted by January 13th. They think she's going to forget and let in a bunch of other people who already have those credits completed and then not have room for me.
This school is big on Greek life and has everything else I need/want and it's the school I really want to go too.
One of my parents isn't paying a dime for anything (she refuses to pay anything) and the other probably won't either because he just doesn't have the money so I feel like it's not really their choice, but I see where they're coming from and it's a concern for me too.
Another big issue is school one wants me to set my schedule by November 15th. Once I set my schedule I'm pretty much saying "Yeah I'm going here" but I don't want to do that and then last minute in January tell them "Sorry I'm going somewhere else".
I see this as risky because I don't want to withdraw from school one without knowing for sure that school two will come through on their promise.
What do I do?
