@Publisher I already studied abroad in Madrid Spain my spring semester and am currently in the process of writing a senior project so transferring is definitely not an option since I don’t want to repeat a year of school.

Have you looked into off campus options for your final semester ?
The Washington DC Semester at American College may be one option.
Study abroad for your final semester.
Any student exchange program with other schools ?
Any school closer to home such as a SUNY or CUNY ?
Bard’s overlap schools are NYU, Wesleyan, Oberlin, Vassar, Reed, & Sarah Lawrence. Although I noted the overlap schools for applicants to Bard, I think it would be better for you to study on a campus with a very different environment than your current school. Maybe a much larger and/or more urban campus ?
P.S. If you have trust issues due to high school bullying, you may find it easier & healthier to focus on one-on-one relationships. Start with yourself by enjoying an activity that can be done alone such as exercise, reading, studying for the LSAT, reviewing law schools, going into NYC , etc. Don’t feel that happiness depends upon making friends in college. It doesn’t. Especially at such a small, isolated, culturally distinct campus.
The good news is that there is only 6 months left & that time includes several breaks from school.
