<p>I go to Brigham Young University and hate it here. I am not Mormon and didn't think the atmosphere would be so conservative. I came here for business school, because they have the best accounting program in the country. Despite all this I am literally miserable here. I don't belong. My girlfriend lives far away. I can't talk to anyone here (I'm usually not shy, but it's weird to be in a place that's all white). </p>
<p>I went to visit my girlfriend (she goes to UCSD), and I absolutely loved it there, (I lived in her dorm for about 4 days). I love the atmosphere how it's more studious than over here. I loved the diversity. I loved the weather, so I decided I want to go to one of the UC (after I visit them of course). </p>
<p>I am a freshman, I just finished my first semester here with a GPA of 3.68. My relevant courses that matter, I got a GPA of 4.0 (I got a B- in history of Mormonism). I lived in California before for about six years. </p>
<p>Here's the bulk of the problem. After this semester is over I obviously don't want to come back to Brigham Young University for another year. Another thing is that UC application closed in November so I can't go to UC starting from fall (I have 60 credit (semester credits) already, because I took a lot of AP courses). </p>
<p>After thinking for a long time I figured out some options:
1) I could keep going to Brigham Young University and endure another year of misery and apply during november of this year. </p>
<p>2) I could keep going to Brigham Young University for all four years. Get a accounting degree than get out, all the while enduring 4 years of misery. </p>
<p>3) I could go home to the Bay Area go to a community college nearby and enter CCC so I have priority when I do apply to UC's. </p>
<p>4) I could go home take the year off, do some charity work for about a year. </p>
<p>I need some help and information. Thank you for reading all that.</p>
