| Now, then, Mr., uh, Vickstad. How can I help you? |
| Well, I'm thinking about transferring, but I'm, I'm not sure... |
| I was hoping you could help me make a decision. |
| I'll try. |
| Where are you thinking of transferring to? And why do you want to leave Kryptos U? |
| Um... I'm thinking of going to Central University, because it's in my hometown. |
| I've uh, been kind of homesick this year, and I haven't made many friends... |
| I just feel so lonely. |
| So, I thought that uh, maybe, it'd be better to be closer to my parents and friends and all. |
| I see. |
| And would you keep the same major if you transferred? |
| What is it... business administration? |
| Yeah, I would. |
| The credits I've earned here will transfer to Central. |
| I've already checked. |
| May I ask why you chose to come to Kryptos University in the first place? |
| Sure. |
| Um, well, the main reason is you have a great business school. |
| And the second reason is that I... I wanted to get away from home. |
| You're right, Mr. Vickstad, we do have an excellent business school. |
| But, so does Central. |
| The thing is, you've got almost a year under your belt here now. |
| At Central, you'll be starting from scratch. |
| Yeah, I know that. But I'm a little bit familiar with Central, 'cuz I had older friends who went there, |
| and I visited it before I came here. |
| You know, freshman year is usually the hardest. |
| I remember how homesick I was my first year. |
| I'll tell you, I was ready to pack it in after the first two weeks. |
| But the longer I stayed, the more comfortable I felt. |
| By senior year, I was glad I chose to stay. |
| Really? Did it get a lot better your sophomore year? |
| Yes, it did. You might well find the same is true for you. |
| Also, even though your credits here will transfer, |
| you will have to take extra courses, |
| because Central has different requirements. |
| You'll probably have to go to school for an extra year. |
| Hmm... I hadn't thought about that. |
| I'll have to check into it. |
| Maybe I should give it one more year. |
| I mean, it's probably good for me to learn to live away from my family and friends, right? |
| It'll make me stronger in the future. |
| You can always move back there after you graduate. |
| Of course, by that time you may not want to! |
| Thank you for all your help. |
| I guess I'll find out the exact transfer requirements. |
| You've given me a lot to think about. |
| Don't mention it. |
| If you feel like you wanna talk more, don't hesitate to come back and see me. |
