<p>I'm not really sure what to do. I am currently a freshman at a very large Midwestern university, and while I am at my first choice school, I'm not as happy here as I thought I would be. I am having a hard time figuring out if I don't like the school or if I don't like college. I really love the school itself, but I am not very happy socially. I do have friends, but not a lot of "good" friends. Some of my friends actually annoy me, and I don't really enjoy being with them all of the time. The school seems to be pretty cliquey, and I feel that it's hard to make new friends. I am only involved in the band programs at the university, and while I feel I have made some good friends from that, I still feel pretty lonely. I want to become more involved next year, but I am afraid by that time people won't be open to making new friends....it already feels that way in my classes. I don't go to parties, even though I would like to (even though I don't drink), because none of my good friends do. I feel like the people here are either really nerdy or really stupid drunk Greek people (no offense to anyone....). I partly chose this school because I felt like I would really fit in here, but I feel really lost, like I haven't found my niche. I know there are people here that are like me, but I feel like nobody is willing to make new friends... Will this happen over time, or is this a sign that I should leave? I really love the school itself though, and it'd hurt me to leave. I also have no idea where I would transfer to....</p>
<p>The college experience is the most important one in your entire life.</p>
<p>If you are not happy with the people, do some research on other schools, visit these schools, and then transfer.</p>
