I Hate My College. Help please

<p>Hi.</p>

<p>I'm currently a freshman in my second semester. I don't like my college for a lot of reasons. I hate my classes, I only have one friend, it is so hard to make new friends. </p>

<p>I go to a technical school and I don't really get along with most of the people here. They are all from around the Boston area and have very distinct "bro" personalities, or they are complete nerds and are hard to befriend. </p>

<p>I have talked to my parents and I am planning on taking next year off. I have to finish this semester and I need some tips on how to get through it. </p>

<p>I have tried everything I could do to make friends, I go to clubs and talk to people but nothing ever works. </p>

<p>It's as if whenever I'm here I become upset and depressed and I'm not sure what to do about it. </p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Aw, I’m sorry to hear that. It’s great that you are putting yourself out there. At technical schools, most students are socially stunted/have poor social interaction skills. If you are miserable, do a TRANSFER! It’s easier and more common than you think. Talk to your counselor about it.</p>
