Feeling lonely and isolated because of transfer

<p>Look I don't have any disorders or anything im perfectly healthy, I just feel a little down and like I haven't accomplished what I set out to do. I wanted to go to BU because I got in, I live outside of Boston I love it and I feel great there. However I can't afford it=( and there is better value out there. So It was between Umass amherst, staying on the premed holy cross waiting list or safety roger williams. I chose roger williams because they had my two interests, architecture and biology. Studied architecture for a semester hated it, didn't liek the school, I dont feel productive or free at the school I feel awful so I sent out a transfer app. to Umass and am playing the waiting game now. After all i'm 100% certain i want to study biological psychology/neuroscience and I want to go to a medical or grad school thatll really help me but I'm having trouble in calculus. I have a C rite now and I got an A in bio 1 have an A in bio 2 and As in chem so it doesn't make sense to me. </p>

<p>ok thats a little background the problem is that my roommate and "friends" were architecture majors, i live in the architecture living and learning community and they are on weird schedules because of their major so I never see them. They don't call me im routinely left out and im feeling lonely. RWU screwed up sending my transcript to umass so i had an incomplete application and the coursework here is so easy I have so much free time(besides calc).. im bored. I deserved a better school I had a 1950 SAT and a 3.7, Idk maybe thats mean but I just don't have the money to pay top dollar and frankly i Umass looks great right now but i want the city back. Because of the transfer and being isolated and lonely because of it plus me struggling in calc, I'm feeling pretty down. Any advice on how to maybe get past it. I go to the gym , i exercise, i skateboard but im still feeling like i made all the wrong choices..</p>

<p>Hi there, I don’t know if you have other particular interests like sports etc. umass seems to me is a big state university which you will definitely find friends who share common interests with you. at first you might feel overwhelmed and don’t know what to do, but it will get better. campus in the city is nice but it’s something now you cannot get, right? so try your best to fit in the community you are in, join varsity team or club sports if you have a particular interest. i believe there are also premed community or academic groups out there.
for many times i felt i had made wrong decisions, i always wanna go back to the time when i made the decisions, however it doesn’t ease the pain. maybe you felt not so great about the choices you made at this moment, but looking back, that’s all you really have to do right? and now its the time to deal with the transitional period. I don’t know what the class is like in umass, but maybe get a lab partner to go to dinner in the dining can help a bit. good luck</p>
