<p>Okay so freshman year of college I went out of state and loved loved loved the small school I went to. However at the end of freshmen year due to a lot of complications beyond my control (mostly family and funding) I had to transfer back to my home state and go to community college part time in order to work 65 hours per week. I was so so unhappy because academics and having a normal college experience has always been very important to me. The summer after sophomore year I found out that I could get enough funding to go back to school full time and so I immediately applied to the large state school and lived on campus junior year because it was the only thing I could do so last minute. Although this was better I hate big schools and my funding did not completely get resolved until right before school started this year ( I had to go through dependency appeal for FAFSA) and I found out I would be able to transfer to Hiram College in the spring. My issue is I am now in what should be my senior year of college but because of all the hang ups is my sophomore credit wise, would it be stupid future employment wise and socially to transfer again this spring? At both schools I would be a 6th year senior for graduation, and all my friends at the large state school are graduating this year so I will be stuck at a school I hate with no real social life to speak of for another two years if I stay. My fear with transferring is not being able to fit in as a 21 year old sophomore at a school of 1800 students, and is it stupid to continue to be trying to achieve the college experience I want when I'm so much older then the "normal" age ( I wont graduate until about a month after I turn 24) at this point and will be in school 6 years either way? Is it pathetic to keep trying to get that normal college experience now that I have the opportunity to or should I just finish my course work at the cheaper place and move on?</p>
