Tell me if I am being unreasonable.
I have all the required math courses more than fulfilled and I have a 3.68 GPA. Not a stellar number, but decent IMO. I can't graduate until next spring becuase of a required seminar offered only once a year.
Besides the one seminar, I have all next year (summer+2 semesters) free to do undergrad research. I'm really, really excited for this opportunity.
However, I don't feel as comfortable with my colleagues or professors at my current out-of-state school, than I do at my hometown university. If that sounds silly, please just take my word for it. I foresee it as a certain roadblock in working within a research team.
Therefore, I am transferring to where I think I'll be more productive, useful, and energized to do research.
My father told me that eyebrows would be raised and awkward questions asked by graduate admissions if I transfer. But I'm no careerist, somewhat non-competitive, and I'm not really motivated by prestige associated with a school.
Do you think it is reasonable to simply say that I felt more comfortable doing undergrad research at a particular location? Am I being unreasonable? Thx!
