Lots of students feel real anxiety and homesick right around 6 to 9 weeks into their first year. Mostly this kicks in if they have gone someplace their close friends didn't--and if they have some extra time between classes--or can't go home on the weekends. Trust me, this will pass if you start getting involved in activities at your new school, take some time to just reflect on life in general and the things you are learning, and seriously get out of your dorm or apartment and try to meet other people.
There are "real" reasons for looking to transfer from one college to another--like the curriculum doesn't match up with what you thought you wanted to pursue, like a lack of challenge in your academic courseload, or a need to get into courses that are closed to you for one reason or another (honors programs you thought you qualified to take, or a pre-med seminar that is only open to students with scholarships or a certain SAT score, etc), or a lack of career or research opportunities related to your major at the school; --but homesickness is not a "real" reason.
Give yourself a bit of time. I've seen literally 50 of these types of posts where two weeks to 3 months later the individual was saying how much different their college is from what it seemed during the first two months. My guess is you will come to realize this also if you just give it a chance. |
