Hi!
I’m currently a first year student at South Carolina from Maryland and I need some Transfer advice. Last year I didn’t put the most thought into my college search. I ended up picking USC because they gave me the most money and it was warm and they had my program. I was thinking it was just gonna be fine. Fastforward, I’ve been here for a month and I simply don’t like it. I’ve made friends with people I know, people on my floor,etc. I did random selection for my roommate is he’s a really weird kid. Doesn’t shower, goes out every night, not friendly, etc. I’m very serious about my major so I figured joining a club for it my help me. After the meeting I went up and talked to the man guy that ran it and all he talked about was getting drunk and that’s all he wanted to do. Like I’m cool with partying but people on this campus have a mission to die every night
Anyway, I’ve really not had a good night once here. I’m extremely unhappy. I already went home for evacuation of Irma and it was the best time being home. I really hate being 9 hours away it kills me more than I thought. Ive thought about transferring spring semester to UMD because it’s close and the program is much better, plus it’s close to lots of friends from HS. I’ve had discussions with my mom and she says that I could go home and do a semester of community college and work. I’m not completely against this cause I think I need time before I choose another college cause I didn’t choose this one well.
Really I just want some advice on the topic. I’ve given the school a chance, and I’m going to continue but all the people I know here love the school and I’ve never felt that way. Any advice would be appreciated. Maybe some stories that taking a semester off for classes and work helped maybe?? That would be great. Thanks so much.
