  • After a year at USC Marshall, I decided to transfer to Cornell University! This video is my very honest documentation of both schools, the good and bad. Before starting college, I had no clue that people could transfer from one 4 year uni to the next. So, I made this video because it was something I wish I had seen & I'm hoping it will be helpful to someone out there. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you. :) This video, especially the piece at the end about "don't sweat it", was really sweet and refreshing for my soul. You are kind, Shirin, and I so appreciate your video! Bless you. :)

    hello shirin, that is great that you got into cornell in upstate new york. you will be catching the fall season when you start in the fall - it is the show of harvest out in the east. had a friend that went to usc as a law degree - came back to new york and was the measure of what is safe for internet usages. wishing you a good year in cornell - make sure you go apple picking up there - there is no more sand. elle for red leaf

    hi! im currently a freshman in usc who got a tranfser option offer to cornell (starting sophomore year) so i was very glad that i found this video :) the transfer process has been very frustrating since cornell requires students like me to take courses that they decide. plus almost everyone around me are telling me that i will not like cornell due to location/weather compared to usc but looking at your video, i truly think i would be able to make valuable experiences at cornell if i transfer !!! thanks again for the insightful video hehee

      So go from the most competitive undergrad college at Cornell, which is Dyson, and go to the least competitive one at Cornell, which is Nolan Hotel School? Um, that would make no sense, in addition to being impossible to do as Cornell won't allow transfers to change undergrad schools.

      And in those circles as well as the rest of the world an Ivy League vs the other Los Angeles school where Hollywood sends their kids, is a no-brainer. They look at the QS World Rankings of Universities and see Cornell at #13 in the world, whereas USC doesn’t show up anywhere in the top 100.
