I’m a college freshman about half way through my first semester of college but I am looking to leave like now, a little info on me is that I choose a small university so that I could play football but I don’t want to play anymore I want to be a student at a big state school, how do I tell my parents I want to quit and come home for this semester and do a community college next semester and return to a 4 year school next fall?
I think you really need to finish out the semester and maybe seeing about transferring directly to another 4-year. It could hurt your GPA/student profile to not finish the semester, especially if it’s not because of a reason like illness or tragedy. I also am not so sure you can only go to CC for one semester, generally you apply for junior transfer; it would probably be easier to apply for a direct transfer. Maybe you could start by telling your parents you aren’t interested in playing football anymore and see how they react.
Tell your parents how you feel, and soon. Investigate what the consequences are for withdrawing now versus finishing the semester, and whether or not you can attend community college next term. In the meantime don’t slack off on your studies and flunk courses because the transcript will follow you if it is too late to withdraw without grades.
