<p>...And I'm kind of depressed about the whole thing.
Do you think I should email the college I turned down and beg for my spot back? Should I just rough it out for a semester?
HELP.</p>
<p>I think it depends what college you turned down. If you turned down a highly selective college, it is unlikely that there would still be a spot open. Just out of curiosity, which college do you think is wrong for you, and why is it wrong?</p>
<p>What college did you choose? I am sure it is not that bad.</p>
<p>I chose Bard College over Ithaca. Bard was my first choice (I loved the alternativeness of it and the great writing program) but (and this sounds stupid) my GUT is saying I'd be happier at Ithaca. Of course, I'm hoping this is just jitters and I'll love it when I get there.</p>
<p>Honestly, if you know you're okay with the alternative fabulousity that is Bard, then you'll have fun there no matter what.</p>
<p>Bard is so much cooler than Ithaca!</p>
<p>Seriously. </p>
<p>And if you need further consolation, my mother attended Ithaca for a year, hated it, and transferred. And colleges, of course, never change in 35 years.</p>
<p>Stick with where you are at. If you hate it, you can always transfer, but more likely than not your first instinct will have been right.</p>
<p>I felt the same way this year. I went to Bard and thought it might have been a mistake. I didn't end up likely Bard as much as I hoped, but I would never take my decision back. I learned alot about the world at Bard. People are very socially conscious and educated about the arts. You have such intellectual conversations and the environment is rather open to all kinds of people from all different places. 20% is international, so you meet people from all over the world. The classes are challenging and inspire interest in subject you would never think you would like. Bard really helped me grow in so many ways. I strongly suggest you try it for atleast a year.</p>
