<p>I'm currently a firstyear at Wellesley College and I want to leave. I really hate it here. There isn't one reason that I want to leave but a bunch of smaller ones. I miss my young siblings (very young!) and I don't like the constricting feel of an all women's college. The idea that you have to go to MIT Frat parties to meet boys is disconcerting. I can keep up academically with the school and love the city, but am often homesick and just don't feel like the school is a "fit". Would it be beneficial for me to transfer? If I transferred to my state school (UMaine) would I be any happier? If I transferred to just another coed school would I like it more? Bennington College in VT is further away, but I feel that it is a better fit. I would also consider the Maine LACs. I feel that if I transfer to my state school it would be transferring down and not fulfilling my potential-- however they do have an animal science program that I am interested in. What would be a good choice for me? Should I even attept to transfer?</p>
<p>Have you visited any of the other colleges? As long as you're absolutely sure that you want to leave and that the other schools are truly better fits, I think you should go ahead and apply. Good luck. :)</p>
<p>Bowdoin would be great although its hard to transfer there. Might be worth a try. My daughter, a fellow Mainer, is going to transfer to UVA in January. That is also an awesome place.</p>
