Transfer Students
1

<p>I turned down my dream college because I was told I was "too good" for it. I went to the private college everyone wanted me to go to. Now I am having major anxiety issues.</p>

<p>I really want to leave but the university I am currently in is ranked in the top 20. I just hate everything about this school. The small size, the attitude of the student body, the location. I feel as if I ignored everything I wanted in a college in order to satisfy the people around me and now I am paying the price.</p>

<p>Is going to my dream school (a public state school), even though it is not nearly as prestigious, worth transferring or should I just suck it up? Is happiness reason enough?</p>

<p>My advice for now is to try and make your current school work. Transfer applications aren’t due until late winter/early spring of next year, so don’t even think about transferring until winter break. The transition to college is difficult, so give yourself time to adapt to a new environment, be outgoing and join activities.</p>

<p>Yes, happiness is important because people usually do better academically and socially if they’re content. But you owe it to yourself to give your school a chance, you’re likely to have even more regret if you don’t.</p>
