<p>I’m not hearing much commitment to working hard here from the OP, just concerns about having a good social life and how CC would not provide that elusive “college experience.” Here’s another option: take your winter quarter leave of absence and get a job. Or an internship. Do a little soul searching about what it is you really want to do with your life. Psychology and sociology may not have the skill set needed for success in engineering, but both fields require lots of reading, writing and dedication to working hard, not just “being a people person.”</p>
<p>Then, once you have a clearer notion of your long term goals, either go back to the original college for the spring quarter and bring that GPA up - with a quarter’s advance notice the advisors could probably find liberal arts classes for you - or transfer to a CC. Just as you get to make your own mistakes when you’re an adult, so too do you get to decide how to fix things.</p>
