<p>Hi everybody, I'm currently attending Pace University in NYC and it is my second semester as a freshman. I am a commuter from NJ and am not pleased with my choice of school. I feel as though I am depressed going to this school because of the amount of $ it is costing my parents and it is affecting my grades (GPA- 1.59). I want to drop out and go to the local CC and then probably just go to maybe Rutgers Newark or Montclair State. </p>
<p>My goal is to either become a PT/OT or Pharmacist. Is it a good plan going to CC then transferring to a more local school. I plan on going into talk to my Academic Advisor as well, but I'm having trouble sleeping and stumbled upon this forum. Please give me some useful advice.</p>
<p>it is a good idea. I dropped out of Western Michigan University after 1 semester, went to CC for 3 semesters and just got accepted to the University of Michigan. Not only did I save a lot of money, I ended up going to a school far superior than my previous one that I attended just because i didn’t get into my top choices out of high school</p>
<p>Talk to your Academic Advisor ASAP. They can tell you the pros/cons/any info you need. </p>
<p>Personally, I think that if you are not happy at the university you are going to (and it’s costing a lot of money to go there) then find an alternative. By the looks of it, your attitude and GPA are in a major funk, and it doesn’t seem like you’ll be any happier as time continues. :(</p>
<p>I’m sorry you have to deal with this, but I sincerely hope everythings turns out for the better.</p>
<p>I have a friend who recently transferred because she was in a similar situation as you, and now she is a lot happier.</p>
<p>would doing all this school hopping affect my career choice path? most likely my grades will get better, but i’m wondering would it look bad going from school to school.</p>
