Should I transfer?

<p>Im a second semester college freshmen and I hate it. I love the school I go to, I love the location, but I have no friends. I have people who I hang out with but every time I go out with them I realize how much I dont like them. Its not that they are bad people they just arent people who I personally like being with. Everyone else seems to be in their own little cliques and its impossible to meet new people in a class of 400 kids. Now that you know my situation heres my problem, next year everyone moves of campus. Since I dont like my friends who am I going to live with? I could do a lottery and just get randoms but thats what I did this year and now I have no friends. Should I transfer to a school with one of my friends from HS or stick it out here? </p>

<p>I really hate my social life because im an extremely active person. the only people I call my friends are graduate students and adults who skydive with me. I hang out with them when I can but they all go out to bars and im only 19. </p>

<p>Please help, my parents are paying so much for me to go to an out of state school and its silly for me to be here if I hate it.</p>

<p>I feel it would really help to have a good discussion about this with your parents if you haven’t thought about this already. College should be big enough that you’ll at least find someone who shares your interests. Maybe go to some clubs that you’re interested in, and you’ll meet people there. Your’e active, so you go to the gym regularly? I’m sure you can meet a lot of people there. Also, there’s nothing wrong with having mostly grad student friends or adult friends. No one needs a hundred friends, one very good friend does very well by itself. Hang out with them, and when they’re at bars, you can do independent stuff / study. </p>

<p>But I think the money may be an important factor in this decision, so it’d be good to see what your parents have to say</p>
