I loved this video so much. I actually recently transferred second semester of my freshmen year and I was also so scared and anxious about it, but it was the best decision I have ever made. You gotta always do what's best for you. I wish you the best at TCU and I hope you absolutely love it!! Go thrive at your dream school :)

I transferred after my freshman year, I’m now a senior about to graduate and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Kudos to you for taking your life and happiness into your own hands- you won’t regret it.

So happy for you Macy!! You need to be where you feel at home. Your environment impacts your mental state so incredibly much. So, it’s wonderful that you’re able to go where you’ve always wanted to be. Don’t concern yourself with people who may not support your decision. Plus! Look at the bright side, now your audience gets to experience TCU with you!! So happy for you and so happy to see your new videos. Much love❤️

Please talk about the tea with SDSU!! I’m considering going there and want to know what I’m getting myself into.

It’s pretty much because Sdsu isn’t centered around football and she didn’t get into Greek life (well she did but she didn’t want to join any of the smaller sororites). Nothing to do with the school, for some reason she didn’t rly look up the social scene or what San Diego even is before committing.

Congrats on finding a school that fits you! I hope you enjoy the rest of the semester. I excited to continue to follow your journey.

Aw Macy I'm so bummed you're leaving. I 'm an alumnus and loved watching all of your campus video and seeing you hang around the city. Feeling more connected to the school absolutely gets better once you're out of the first couple of years because that's when your class size starts really dwindling down and you actually start forming relationships with professors which is so great. But I know from watching your videos that you really desperately wanted somewhere with a school spirit and I CAN agree that SDSU doesn't have loads of that. There's definitely pride in our basketball team but that's really about it. I'm really happy to see how excited you are though for this move to Texas and I of course wish you all the best there! It's been a blast having you here in San Diego

That's so awesome that your coming to Texas. I'm from Texas and I am going to be a freshmen at Dallas Baptist University in the Fall. I'll be praying for you in this season of transition and hope things go smoothly.

Hi Macy!! I have lived in San Diego for my whole life. San Diego is an amazing place, I have traveled a lot and I still think San Diego is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I just started at SDSU when I transferred last semester but I wasn’t too excited about it. I really haven’t felt that connected to SDSU and I’m not really happy to be at the school. I will be graduating in the fall so I just told myself I would be done soon so I’ve stuck to it. I’m glad you’re doing something that makes you so obviously happy!! I hope you have a much better time at TCU! 💗

For anyone thinking about going to SDSU- It seems like it’s a huge Greek life school when you’re a freshman living on campus since that’s all anyone ever talks about for the first semester. It seems very superficial right off the bat since everyone goes in with the mentality that it’s a party school and you need to be in Greek life to have fun. The hype usually dies down by the second semester since a bunch of ppl don’t make it into Greek life (obviously) so that’s when you really start to settle into your friend groups. Once I moved off campus and found a place with normal ppl my age I ended up having a lot more fun. It takes a while to find your group but you will eventually. Also, make friends with the commuter students. They’re the ones who know SD the best and also tend to be more down to earth than the kids who chose SDSU cuz they think it’s a party school (in my opinion). I graduated last year and found a job in SD and my closest friends right now were commuter students at SDSU.

literally so true. I really thought I needed to be in a sorority first semester. Totally died down. Most people dont even participate after sophomore year. The whole party school thing is dying very quickly with greek life getting shut down though

Good for you following your dreams x I just follow because I love watching college life as I couldn't go!

Congrats girl! So excited for you!

OMG I am going to be attending TCU in the fall as well but as a freshman!! I love your channel and can't wait to hopefully meet you!! :)

I am going to be a rising senior in college this fall! I did the exact same thing after my freshman year as you. I went to a huge school and i loved it at first and made some of my best friends . But i decided after the first year that I wanted to switch to a small school where i felt part of the community! I am so happy that I made the switch and would never regret going to my first school or transferring in a million years! Good luck with everything!!!

I transferred to sdsu from community college a year ago and I totally feel you, I would’ve probably transferred had I been there since freshman year. Being at a big school can be challenging and I really think people sell an idea of sdsu that’s not too accurate for everyone that attends. Good luck at TCU!!!

I personally went to the University of Kentucky my freshman year and I felt the exact same way! I transferred home. It’s totally normal and you will feel ten times happier. Good luck to you girl

I transferred universities after my freshman year as well! I’m also at a Christian university in California! It was a little hard jumping in as a sophomore but being a first-time student tbh, because it felt like everyone already had their established friend groups. BUT - if this is also your case, don’t get discouraged! Transferring was the best decision of my life and now as I’m finishing up my second semester, I’ve found incredible friends who challenge me spiritually. Praying you find the community and experience you’ve been searching for 💛🌿

This video is so important!!! I'm from Georgia and came to SDSU so I could travel and be out of my comfort zone. I fell in love with the city and views but not really the school. Just like Macy my first semester was not good and one of my tight friends transferred but I stayed bc of ~peer pressure~ from people at sdsu, thoughts that i'd be considered a failure, and people back home saying I wouldn't make it out here. So, here I am going to state everyday wishing I could as well be in Texas (lol i love texas and never met a texan I don't like). Im going to be in my third year next semester and I feel its too late to transfer due to application periods and transferring credits. But yes sdsu is so whack and they are hiding things. Everything you've said Macy is soooo spot on in this video and all your others about sdsu. Keep running after your happiness

Hi Macy - I also transferred to TCU after my freshman year at the University of Minnesota!! I graduated in 2018 and can honestly tell you it was an incredible experience! I went to Minnesota cause it was closer to home but thought i would make the transition! TCU has the best community and it was an amazing decision for me :) I wish you the best and hope you have the most wonderful time there.

I'm in the opposite situation. I'm from California and went to Boulder because I wanted to go to a big school away from home but I've learned that California is where I'm my happiest so I'm transferring to a California University next year. Glad that you're doing what makes you happy!

Macy, I'm so happy for you, you seemed so unhappy all year I'm glad you're going where you will be happy.

The fact that u made this video is helpful for me going into my freshman year in 2 months and knowing that if Im unhappy that I have options :)

I'm a transfer student and it worked out so well for me! Glad you found your home

I’m so happy and proud of you!!!

Transferring can be such an emotional and tough process ngl... i thought about doing it, i have friends who have done it. As long as you're sure about it I bet it'll be great! Good luck this fall!!

I can relate so so much to your video that I cried from remembering my horrible experience in your position last semester. You are so brave for lasting a year. I went to Sacramento State last fall as a Freshman. I was 3 hours away from home & hated the school so much. Literally LEFT my FIRST WEEK!! Did community college back home and transferred to FRESNO PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, a Christian uni in Fresno Ca, in Jan 2019 for spring semester. best decision I’ve ever made!! I literally have never been happier with my life and cannot imagine my life anywhere else. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails (prov. 19:21)

After my freshman year, I transferred to the University of Oklahoma and I LOVE it. This decision is so hard to make but I promise that you will not regret it and going to a school where you are proud to be there is so important. Go big 12!!!!

As someone who also ultimately went to SDSU because it was more affordable for me since I'm from San Diego I really relate to this. Your so lucky you were able to transfer to the school of your dreams. I really wanted to go to University of Seattle. I absolutely agree SDSU is great for the social aspect but its run very much like a business. Good luck girl 👏👏👏👏

Yay I'm so so happy for you. Welcome to Texas, and if you ever come down to college station let girl know :)

I went thru the same thing. April of my freshman year my university made the decision to do away with my major so I was given the decision of changing majors and staying or transferring to another university. I moved from colorado to Las Vegas and honestly it’s been the best thing so I wish you the best, just know the first month will be rough as you’re going thru the freshman experience yet again but once you establish yourself it will be great!

Had the same experience my freshman year, transferring to Lee in TN this fall!! I! Feel! You!! Leaving a big school “business” atmosphere for a small school community!!!

Love you girl!!!

I think you going to San Diego partially because of the location is why some high schoolers need help applying to colleges. You can't just apply to a college for the location because in the end you won't enjoy your classes even if you end up loving the city (or hating it). Hope everything works out for you at TCU! I'm transferring to a four year college this summer after I get my associates (I go to a community college) and I toured my college and fell in love with it. I knew how the people were and the academics (for the most part) and I enjoy most of my classes even if they are generals (except for college algebra and my bio lab).

Don’t worry Macy. We still gonna be subscribed. It’ll be fun bc now you can teach us about a new school we had no idea about. Transferring can be mixed emotions so best of luck to you!

You're going to love it here! I'm a rising junior and it's been the best 2 years of my life. I'm originally from San Diego too which is the funny part and trust me when I say you won't regret it like this school is amazing :)

Yay!!! Omg once I moved to TX I really wished I would’ve went to TCU! I live in Dallas and I’m down in Fort Worth all the time. I hope I run into you sometime!!

Just wondering, do they allow lower division transfers, or are u already at a junior year level?

I think if it makes you happier going to Texas, is definitely the best for you 💪🏼

I’m going to college out of state to Texas too! I’ve always known that’s where I wanted to go. However I am trying to transfer to UT Austin my sophomore year so glad I get to see you do the same! Love ya! 💕

Hi! I had a quick question about SDSU. I am deciding about maybe going there but I’ve heard it’s a big party school and drugs and alcohol is big. I am a Christian and do you feel that SDSU focuses a lot on partying and how you look? Thanks for any advice.

Good luck to you Macy!! I have a freshman daughter at SDSU who is also a Maecy!

I've been watching your vlogs off and on, because I'm born and raised San Diego County and love seeing the city through others' eyes, and I resonate with this video so much. My freshman year, I moved out of state to go to a small school in Montana. I did it because they were the only school in the COUNTRY that offered the major I wanted, and I felt like it was worth it. Turns out, it was not. I was miserable, I was so homesick, I was SO sad the entire year. I was a shell of myself, and nobody there even knew it because they didn't know who I was before. It was the hardest year of my life, and yet deciding to transfer was also an extremely hard decision. I felt like I was giving up on a dream, like I was being childish, like I wasn't strong enough. I had made some incredible friends (who remain my friends to this day) and had some good adventures, but eventually did decide to leave. I, too, spent my spring break exploring what would become my new campus (Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego) and fell in love. It was the only school I applied to for transfer and I got accepted, and my last three years there (I graduated last May) changed my life. What I'm saying is that deciding to transfer IS a very personal decision, you are so right. It is not easy, but you come first. Don't worry about how it makes you look, or what others may think. You are going to THRIVE at TCU. You are going to LOVE the smaller population, it makes a world of difference. I hardly know you (duh) but this is going to be good for you, and I'm excited for vlogs in a new place come fall. Congratulations!

Also a question I always had since I am a graduating senior , can you transfer from a state school to another state school or to a Uc?

SDSU is definitely a business. But so is every other college/university in this country with perhaps the exception of Berea College (KY) and College of the Ozarks (MO)... and maybe a handful of others. Good for you for hanging in at State for the full year. God bless you as you move on.

Sorry if I missed you saying this, are you from Texas? I wish I applied to TCU. Have you heard anything about GCU?

But if there’s a reason you didn’t like it, we would like to hear it in detail. I’m loving CSULB so far but it’s more convenient for me to go to SDSU since I live there. Unfortunately it’s so competitive since everyone wants to live in San Diego.

Angie M hey! There’s not tea about the school, just specific things that happened to me that I will talk about later. SDSU is definitely a solid option! I made a pros and cons video where I get more specific

I don’t think about transferring from my school (I go to fit in nyc) but I do know that I don’t like to live on campus and would much rather commute (I live on Long Island so it’d be an hour commute by train). So I’m kind of in your boat in a way. I like my school and I’m comfortable with it but the environment of on campus living and being in the city all the time really deteriorated my mental health these first two semesters. Just not sure what to do. My mom, my boyfriend, and friends are supportive. My dad and sister + everyone else however... I know it’s my decision but I don’t want to be reprimanded and looked down at all disappointed. Anyone have any advice? :(

Choosing a college (honestly, deciding to go to college in the first place) is a really hard decision!!! I’m so glad you found your place!!! (Also OU is in my home state and i love it but OU is super overwhelming for me but if your brother loves it, DO IT!! Oklahoma is a great place to be if you want a family feel, but Texas is good too ig 😂)

I’ve been watching your videos the last few months (and im late to subscibing because i usually watch on my smart tv😂). Ive loved watching your SDSU videos ever since I found your account. Im even more excited to see you going to TCU because not many KZread personalities go to small private universities. I myself am going to a private school in Ohio next year that has roughly 3000 enrolled students. You’ve been relatable even going to a big university but now youre even more relatable going to a smaller university. Thank you for sharing your experience with this college journey❤️

i live in dallas and i bet ur gonna love TCU!!

Hey Macy, my name is Josiah; I am a freshman of SDSU. I am sorry SDSU has not given you the experience you wish you wanted, but I am glad you enjoyed the beautiful weather down here. I totally agree that TCU is a great school, and it seems that private Christian colleges are very welcoming and secure. As much as I wish you could stay here in SDSU, I wish you the best experience in TCU. I actually wished I was in another school instead of SDSU, and I being in SDSU have had some unsatisfactory moments. We will miss you, and your tears really matter; but remember to keep that passion of whatever you have in you.
