<p>Sorry for the depressing title but I'm seriously so lost</p>
<p>I'm a current freshman at a small liberal arts college in the south. It's a good school and yadda yadda yadda but it just doesn't have name power. ALSO I've been feeling really isolated on campus. We have really strict rushing rules here and since we have delayed rush we basically can't associate with the girls in sororities until next semester. I'm an athlete and my main friends are the girls on the team with me because during freshman orientation I was always off at practice instead of meeting other people. The girls in my hall don't like me, my roommate and I didn't get along from day 1, and I can't hang out with the girls who are my friends.</p>
<p>ANYWAY after that rant, all of this combined is making me want to transfer. I just don't feel like I fit in here. I'm hoping rush will change this but it may not :(</p>
<p>When I was a senior in high school I REALLY wanted to go to Vandy more than anything but I got waitlisted. I'm thinking about maybe applying there, William and Mary, Notre Dame... etc. </p>
<p>I'm a chem major (for now anyway) and right now I'm currently taking a freshman seminar writing course, philosophy, chemistry, and health. What courses should I take next semester that make for a smooth transfer process and also does anyone have any advice for me at all as far as if I even should transfer or other schools to look at?
Would transferring help this problem at all or will I feel just as isolated as a new student?
I know this is super vague and long but I don't know. I'm just not happy here right now :(</p>
<p>Edit: the reason the girls on my hall don't like me is because they think i'm always studying, working out, or sleeping. And the reason I don't like them is because they are NEVER doing those things. I understand college should be fun too, I'll party on the weekends. But on school nights my grades come first and I feel like no one here has that same perspective and it's really frustrating.</p>
