I don't like my new city/college life...?

<p>Hello this is my first topic on College Confidential. I would like to talk about my problem which troubles me the last two months.I'm living in a new city miles away from my family and friends to study Computer Science which I love so much (this is my first semester) . I have made new friends here and I would say we have good times. But , I don't really like this new place and the University in which I am didn't really got my enthusiasm. Sometimes I feel like I don't have the courage to do anything (even playing video games..) . It's hard to have an apartment living alone and sometimes I feel like I did the wrong choice. For example , I could study Economics at my city. Generally , this new place... it doesn't feel like home. I miss my family and friends , and I can only get to them by plane which costs a lot. How could I deal with my problem ? I don't like my parents spending a lot of money for me and I can't imagine myself for the next 3 years in this place...</p>

<p>Thanks a lot ,
Chris.P</p>

Transfer to another college.</p>

<p>Well, I don’t live in US so entering into a new unvirsity isn’t that easy , Our system ( greek ) is like Japan’s in which you need to give exams from school and depending on your grades you pass in a university, I could pass in Economics at my city but I chose to study Computer Science and I could only in another place…</p>

<p>Try and find a roommate?</p>

<p>The apartment isn’t that big for two persons to stay…</p>

<p>Then get a different apartment next year.</p>

<p>You ought to speak to your schools’ counseling services. A lot of people get homesick, especially being far from home as you have stated. Remember your main goal and work for it.</p>

<p>If you really can’t see yourself at your University for 3 more years, I suggest you look into transferring next fall. If you choose to take this route, make sure you take courses that are most likely to transfer to your new school.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>
