<p>Hi. Found some useful reading on here, but a few things I've seen have really caught my attention and have made me wary of what the future holds for me. I'll give two descriptions... a "long story shot" and one with better detail, just in case nobody feels like reading through all of this...</p>
<p>Long story short... I am in my second semester of my Sophomore year at Purdue. Grades are definately nothing to write home about. Really really don't like what I am studying right now and will probably be forced to switch majors anyways. I've signed a lease for an appartment next year, but since then I've decided I just want to transfer. I read that you need to transfer your sophomore or junior year so this leaves me thinking that I have to transfer at the end of this semester (be enrolled at IUPUI - the other school I want to go to - by this coming fall). I know for a fact what I want to do with my life, and Purdue doesn't offer it (or anything else I have somewhat of an interest in). IUPUI on the other hand does offer it.</p>
<p>A little more detail if you care to read...
I have been seeing a doctor for major depressive issues. I know that's not an excuse, but it has no doubtedly given me some trouble in trying to do my studies. My freshman year I had a poor first semester and a decent second semester, sophomore year I had another decent semester and this one which is about to finish looking to be a very bad one. I am in Krannert, one of the best business schools around, but absolutely have zero interest in doing anything business or management related in my life. My MAI index classes will not by high enough to enter the upper level anyways so I am going to have to figure something out anyways. I do, however, love music and want to somehow work in the music industry but Purdue offers nothing even closely related. IUPUI on the other hand, has a decent music production school. And really, I am just sick of this place and want to just spend a year or two back home, while finishing school. I am just at a time of my life where I need to be at home and would be doing great in school if I was, and I was studying something I was interested in. I thought that since I had already signed a 12 month lease for my appartment, I would have to spend atleast another year here (one option would be to sublease it but I don't even know where to start or if I could get anyone to do it). I thgouth I might just do general studies and then after a year of hopefully better grades, transfer to IUPUI. So now I don't know what to do... I could try and sublease my appartment and transfer, but I don't even know if I would be accepted at the other school based on my poor performance here. I could try to stay here for a year and do better in some general study classes, but then I would be try ing to transfer into another school going into my senior year. </p>
<p>This really really sucks and is not making my depression any better, let alone trying to ride out the rest of this semester. What is your guys' advise for me? Also don't know if it makes a difference, but IUPUI is a campus made up of Purdue and Indiana University so it may or may not count as a Purdue campus. Not sure how that works lol.</p>
