<p>I currently attend a university 2.5 hours away from home, and I absolutely hate being away from my family. I would like to transfer to the university in my home town. I have been going to the counseling center at my current university, getting involved, and trying to be positive, but I am depressed and miserable. It has been 5 weeks but I already know that I do not belong here. Things have gotten worse with time instead of better.</p>
<p>Anyway, my parents don't want me to transfer at all, but they definitely won't be on board for it if I haven't been here for a year at least. I have made up my mind that I will definitely transfer whether they will support me and help pay for it or not. They're wasting their money for me to be here. I can't figure out how to tell them that I want to transfer to my hometown university for the spring semester. They won't agree at all, but I feel that I know that this is what is best for me in the long run. How do I bring it up without them being angry and refusing to support me?</p>
