<p>Currently I am a Mount Holyoke College student. I am considered a sophomore even though I took off my freshman fall semester. I feel like this place is slowly sucking my soul away. I am extremely depressed, therefore making it hard for me to function. Mount Holyoke is in western MA and its completely cut off from the rest of the world. I literally have no friends here. I dont know if I should transfer from this college. Also my family life is extremely dysfunctional and it has gotten worse the few months. My GPA from last semester is 2.9. This semester I am taking only three classes. Would it be a good idea to transfer out from this place or should I stick around? I know that with my current GPA I will not be able to get into a college with high "ranking" like Mount Holyoke's but do rankings really matter when you apply for jobs?</p>
<p>Background: I went to an International American School in a third world country. However I have spent most of my life in California. My high school GPA was around 3.3, but I got really good letters of recommendations from my teachers. I was part of a lot of extra-curricular activities. The top schools I got into were Mount Holyoke and Bryn Mawr. Basically I got into 12 out of the 14 colleges I applied to.</p>
<p>I am paying full tuition at Mount Holyoke College and I honestly think that the education does not add up to the money at all. I am not a rich girl and my family is struggling to put me through Mt. Holyoke.</p>
