<p>I feel like I came to college at the wrong time. Due to personal feelings, I want to withdraw. If I withdraw within the next week, my parent will get some of their money back for this paid semester. I would like to take a year off, go back to my old job, save up more money, and attend a CC to knock out some general classes and nursing pre reqs (majoring in nursing) I feel like coming to university right now wasn't the best idea. </p>
<p>Also, I know people say once you leave college, you will never go back. That is not the case for me if I do withdraw. Education is important to me but I would like to save up a good amount by working full time. Plus I really need some time to clear my head. That's just me. I was always a hard working student in HS, and so far am working hard in college, making Friends and joining clubs, but like I said I feel like I came at the wrong time. </p>
<p>Have you talked to your old boss about this? You want to make sure you DEFINITELY have a job before you drop out.<br>
Unlike everyone else, I think you should drop now so you can get the tuition refund.</p>
<p>Another option would be to drop your worst class, and then try to finish out the semester. Just be careful that you still qualify to be full-time (often 12 credits per semester), if your aid or grants are tied into that.</p>
<p>It may actually be harder to make friends if you keep changing colleges or if you transfer than if you stick with your original college and try new approaches.</p>
<p>Yes I for sure get my old job back if I were to leave. I have kept in contact with my job, so I know that as a fact. </p>
<p>And I am not saying I am dropping out, I am just trying to consider all my options for my current situation. I would like to transfer for personal reasons. My college is expensive and I would like to go somewhere cheaper.</p>
<p>And believe it or not, its not homesickness. I am fine being away from home. Some unexpected things have come up in my family and im just trying to get some opinions for different options…</p>
<p>I would say that perhaps you might be right about it not being the right time for you to go to college, but you’re here now and I wouldn’t jeopardize your potential college career by leaving now. Just suck it up, find a way to enjoy it if you can, and get through it.</p>
<p>You can give all the excuses that you want about how your case is different and how you really will go back, blah blah blah. Guess what? People on the Internet don’t know you and don’t care all that much. So most people here are going to think you won’t go back. If you know for sure you will, stop making excuses on the freaking Internet and just go do it, because clearly you know more than all of us.</p>
<p>Most people don’t go back. That’s not a thing that people say for no reason. People say it because it’s true. So think long and hard about if you’re willing to not go at all, because odds are that you won’t. If you just KNOW you won’t be part of that majority, well good luck. I wouldn’t want to gamble that way, personally.</p>
I believe you have said that your parents can afford it, and that you were strongly urged to attend this college despite the price. Has something changed or is this an excuse?
Unexpected things come up for many people in college, but they don’t all withdraw. Things happen that are/will be out of your control and you have to deal with it; that’s life. You also admitted before that it was just homesickness and that you were looking for excuses.</p>
