<p>I'm a freshman at my local community college. I am thinking about transferring to a university in the spring semester.
But I've heard stories of people that have transferred, and it ended up making them miserable to the point were they had to go back to the college they were at originally. </p>
<p>Is making friends in the spring semester really hard? I'm scared that if I transfer, I'll feel worse. It's a big risk I have to take.</p>
<p>Making friends as a transfer student is often very difficult regardless of the semester. </p>
<p>Are your parents even letting you go? Because seriously, this is getting ridiculous.</p>
<p>Look, Cheshire, I get that you’re unhappy at your CC, and I feel bad for you, I do. If you want to transfer, then do it. End of story. I honestly don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish by posting all these threads (both here and in the Parents forum) that basically give the same information and ask the same questions over and over, with hostile responses whenever someone tells you something you don’t want to hear. You keep asking what people think, but it’s clear that you don’t really care, you just want people to validate you and tell you how awesome college is going to be and how you’re going to blossom and do great.</p>
<p>You might love your new school. You might hate it more than you ever thought possible. We can’t tell you what will happen. We don’t know. Everyone has given you their advice. Please stop asking us to predict the future.</p>
<p>I <em>hated</em> CC in my first semester. Dreaded the drive, the lack of socialization, the boring classes. But it got better. I joined clubs, found classes that interested me, made some friends…and now, two years later, I’m sad to be leaving but excited to transfer. The past two years flew by, because I found ways to enjoy school. The same is true pretty much anywhere.</p>
<p>I’d stick it out. Think of the money you’ll be saving. And this way, there is more time for you to mature (as I did) before entering university.</p>
<p>I’m a transfer student, and making friends is NOT hard. There are so many freshmen also in the same situation as you, and they need friends just like you do. In the Spring, that may be different. Honestly, I would just wait until next year.</p>
<p>Could you stop posting about this? We understand you’re unhappy. You keep rephrasing and posting new threads about the same thing. As others have said, no one can predict the future. We don’t know. There comes a time when you need to make your own life choices, and not rely on the opinions of people who don’t even know you on an internet forum.</p>
