So I am currently a junior in my fall semester at a really great university. The college is really great and I have made some good friends here. The problem is I have just been unhappy for a year and I don’t think I can take it anymore so I started looking into transferring. The reasons I am unhappy are mental health issues, being away from home, feeling like I don’t have a real connection with friends, and just an overall feeling of sadness. I joined clubs and I go out on the weekends but I just don’t feel content here. I know that me being a junior and transferring is probably not the best but I don’t want to feel this way for the next 1 and a half years.

I just get really homesick and want to go home every weekend but I don’t. Anyway, is this being immature? I know most people don’t have a problem with this and I don’t know why I can’t get past it. But am I being a baby by transferring closer to home? Also I have already applied to schools and got accepted to a couple and I was wondering how do you find out about financial aid and stuff? And any other transferring information I need to know would be great! Like materials to send and so on.
