First of all, I have to say that I am sorry you are so unhappy. Maybe transferring is your best option.

I am curious, what would you be able to hopefully do at another college that you cannot do at Bucknell? What will exist that does not exist at Bucknell for someone like you?

Clearly Bucknell has students that do not engage in drinking or smoking. You said there was a CHOICE group, but you did not like them. Did you give them a chance? Have you tried to get involved in clubs, athletics, theater, newspaper…etc? Maybe you would meet some people you could connect with.

I would have to say that it comes across that you are very homesick at this early stage of your freshman year and you miss and want to be with your girlfriend back home. You also do buck the trend of college students by not imbibing in alcohol or drugs. Good for you. But I’m not sure you would be happy anywhere except the College of New Jersey, where your girlfriend is.
