<p>i am currently a freshman and boston university. this wasn't my first choice school, however, it had the best communications program, which is why i chose to come here. when i was looking at colleges i had one criteria: there had to be a campus. i know BU doesn't really have a campus but i figured that it wasn't too bad and that i would learn to get used to it. however, i hate that i feel like i'm not part of the school. i almost went to indiana university, which has a beautiful campus and amazing school spirit. when i visited last year i immediately got a feeling of school pride. boston is an amazing city and i love it here but i feel like i am more a citizen of the city than i am a student at the school.
BU is also very academically challenging. not only do i have a massive workload that is keeping me in the library during my free time but they make it so hard for you to do well here.
currently i am in the communications program but have been looking at indiana's programs and see that they have a sports marketing and management major, which is what i am really interested in. i love sports and this major combines sports with communications.
i like it here but don't love it. i applied as a transfer to indiana for spring semester because i dont think i can be here anymore. i get such an anxious feeling here that i should be somewhere else and that i should be enjoying it more.
many people have told me that spring semester is way better and i will love it way more but i don't think i can wait. a fear of mine is that if i stay the whole year and still don't like it and want to transfer, transferring as a sophmore will be harder in the sense that it will be more difficult to meet people.</p>
<p>any advice for a confused freshman?</p>
