Hello, I’m currently enrolled in a private university only a few minutes from my house and I absolutely hate it. I don’t have any friends, my friends that stayed home for school as well stopped talking, I hate the school itself, and the freedom aspect is just awful. I want to leave as soon as possible. I just want a fresh start more than anything.
I went to my boyfriend’s school, Stony Brook (he stayed home as well), to watch him play in a video game tournament and I realized when I was there how badly I want to go away to school. Seeing people walking around the campus and hanging out at night and seeing the dorms, it all looked so amazing. I just wished I could go away and get the real college experience.
Here’s the catch, it’s only the first semester of school, I don’t know how transferring for the spring semester would work. I applied to New Paltz for the Fall 2017 semester, got accepted, I even enrolled for a few months. I switched out last second because I thought staying home was the better decision for me, clearly, I was wrong. So I just don’t know what to do. I don’t think I could stick this out for another year honestly, I absolutely despise it here. Please help me, thank you.
