<p>I'm a born and bred city kid. I'm freshman at a public university branch campus in the middle of Pennsylvania. I am not especially in love with it. There is absolutely no diversity whatsoever and I feel overwhelmed with the urge to run back to the city every time I'm up there. I do however, enjoy my classes. Besides my pretty decent classes, I am bored. I feel out of place among a lot of suburbanites. I went to an arts high school in Pittsburgh and loved it. I feel like I would be happier somewhere more liberal arts oriented. There isn't much to do up there but drink, which I can't and won't do. </p>
<p>However, I am not miserable. I am okay, I can survive. I just feel a little out of place not loving college. In fact, I just don't really like it. The other thing is that it's a good deal cheaper than the liberal arts schools I liked to begin with. I automatically get half tuition plus a little bit of scholarship and financial aid. My middle class family can with reason, afford it, and with two other sisters who will be in college in a few years it helps. </p>
<p>I agreed to give it one more semester, but I really don't know if I'll be happy. I'm fully aware I am there to get an education but shouldn't I at least enjoy my weekends and free time, rather than being bored out of my skull? </p>
<p>Anyway, I'm looking for some insight, any suggestions?</p>
