Should I Transfer?

<p>I am currently at a college 2 hours away from home and I am in a state of depression I am so homesick. I am only okay when I'm hanging out with my one friend or watching T.V. But otherwise when I sit down alone to study I cant even think im so sad. because of this my grades are going down because I cant focus. It takes all my energy and effort to not start crying in my room, in class, and sometimes even occasionally with my friend. I've been accepted to the university close to my home where I can live at home for college.
for me the pros of transferring are:
Being at home
mental and emotional relief and support
study better
Cons:
may be less social at home
school is a little of a downgrade
afraid I'll regret it</p>

<p>pros of staying here:
my best friend is here
very good school, has a lot of opportunities
Cons:
those opportunities will be useless if I cant get good grades here
I cant keep living in this depression.</p>

<p>I've given myself until mid November to decide whether I should transfer at semester or not. I would really appriciate your feedback and maybe your own stories of similar situations. I cant decide which path to chose. Please help
Thank You</p>

<p>It’s hard to transfer if you’re not in a CC but good luck</p>

<p>I’ve already been accepted and all my credits will transfer the problem is, i dont know if I should or not </p>

<p>If they all can transfer you should be ok. Is the local school much worse?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say much, but it is worse. Everyone I know who’s graduated from there loves it. I think it will be challenging for me no matter what because it is college.</p>

<p>Wherever you go, there you are. Relying on your family and your environment for your emotional support is a short-term solution. You need to go to the counseling center. It could be that if you do some work on yourself, in just a few sessions you will find a path out of this pattern, and you will have grown and developed lifelong tools. Without help, why wait until November? It won’t get any better without some outside guidance & intervention. It could get much better surprisingly quickly with the proper outside support.</p>

<p>You have to look at this way, you are an adult at age of 18. What are you going to rely on for the next 60 years? Do you think your family will support you or do you want your family support you for 60 years? Get some help and grow up. Find friends in your current environment. You will be fine. </p>
