I had applied the end of my senior year, and was accepted with a scholarship. I toyed with the idea of skipping community college and heading straight to Campbell. After meeting with admissions at Campbell, my counselor said it was in my best interest financially to attend a community college first. I took his advice, and deferred my admission to spring. I emailed the counselor as soon as I returned home with all my classes I would be taking the fall semester to make sure that the classes would transfer. Weeks flew by, with no response. I left him one voicemail, and received no response. (Please note: He still hasn't called me back, and the email he sent was very minimal only offering my transfer credits and not any answers to my questions.) I then had to call another counselor who called me back days later. She informed me that because I am now a transfer student, my scholarship was revoked. I would have to apply for a new scholarship, which she assured me I would get; however, it would be far less money than first offered. I was originally offered 15,000 and would now be looking at 10,000 maybe less. It may not seem that big of a difference now, but it certainly would be a large sum difference after 4 years.The other counselor finally wrote me back to inform me that only my Math class would count, but I would still have to take a second math class. The Biology class I was taking would be considered an elective, which meant I would still have to take another two scienes. None of my communications classes would transfer. Only one class would transfer for some general education credit out of five? If I HAD attended community college for the two years (as he had suggested originally), I would be in major trouble. Most of my classes I would have taken, more than likely wouldn't have transferred. Campbell doesn't accept classes marked as "101" or classes such as that. In community college, you have to take the 101 classes originally in order to take the 110, or 210 which is Campbells acceptance. The dorms seemed pretty awesome; however, the curfew seemed silly. It must be silent from 10 o'clock onward. To some, that may seem like a dream come true. To me, it seemed slightly ridiculous. I had no plans to stay up partying untill 2 a.m; however, a strictly enforced curfew of 10 o'clock is utterly ridiculous. When I asked the admission counselor how many students were left on campus during the weekends, he chuckled. The campus is practically empty on weekends. Most of the students attending Campbell live close enough to return home weekends. The college does not host weekend activities to keep students stuck on campus entertained. There are weekend retreats, which may be perfect for some. If you expect to visit Buies Creek to find something to do, you are sadly mistaken. I visited the town of Buies Creek. You blinked; you missed it. If you didn't have a car on campus, you were entirely screwed. Many of the restaurants labeled on the gps system did not exist anymore. Also, the school is fairly expensive. Campbell was great at offering scholarships to anyone who had decent grades. The problem is transfer students receive far less. My admissions counselor also praised how awesome the endowments are. They were perfect, if you're a resident of North Carolina or any nearby state. Most of the endowments were for some element of religion be it religion, religious education, or church music. There were no endowments from any states above the Tennessee line. Most of the endowments only accepted applicants from the state which offered it. Being from the North, it made it extraordinarily difficult to find another scholarship which would take care of the other 10,000 dollars. I can't complain about any of the kids that went there. The ones I met were extraordinarily nice, and still talk to me to this day. The school really lost me when I heard about the amount of racism surrounding it. I didn't personally witness it, but I have heard numerous accounts of it. I would be far too uncomfortable in such an environment. Overall, the school seemed better for students who prefer an extremely small school, and live/have relatives fairly close to the school. It is a VERY Christian school, which makes it perfect for a highly religious individual. Extremely studious pharmacy students would flourish here. |
