Hello, I would appreciate the advice or suggestions on schools.
I go to a tech university in CO which I transferred into after CC due to financial issues. And ever since transferring I have dealt with a whole lot of problems from students and faculty. I already came from a disadvantaged background.
The problem is that I’m the only female and ”poc” (I don’t want to give too much details) student the department has had. Because of that I’ve been targeted by students, and experienced hostility from professors. Some things include students and professors mad that I got a like internship, and TAs messing with my grades. The other poc’s in the department either switched or aren’t friendly.
The deans played in my face disrespectfully over the situation. And Hr at our school just hides cases as usual.
The department of education won’t help me either.
My grades have suffered and I have a load of chronic illnesses. It’s been a nightmare, and inconvenient trying to transfer due to my gpa. But I do have a great resume.
Does anyone know any materials engineering or materials science undergraduate schools I could transfer to, to complete my degree? Or any degree that could work such as an individualized curriculum? I would really appreciate it.
Could you please clarify where you have attended college for the last 5 years? Here is your older thread. You were in college as a freshman in 2019. What happened that prevented you from graduating by now?
If you transfer now, you will need at least two more years just to finish your undergrad degree.
It seemed you had issues with your other college in the old thread as well.
At this point, if you are a senior…just graduate, and move on.
That’s understandable as that’s a concern of mine. I ended up leaving the school I complained about in my old post and attended a CC for 2 years. I had health issues and out of school due to Covid and finances. I lost 2 years due to this.
Ended up going to Mines for 2 years, but would possibly stay for 1.5 years as I withdrew for a year due to mental health issues. So I figured 2 years somewhere else is the same except finances.
I was advised by my therapist and some faculty to leave. And even just switching majors on this campus irritates me.
Are you at Mines now? As a college senior as your thread title says? If so…can you just complete your degree.
It sounds like you have your own mental health issues that should take priority. Perhaps ask for a leave of absence from college…and work part time, while continuing to see your therapist. You can formulate your plan, and move on. BUT you need to take care of yourself…first and foremost.
I’m still there but took the semester off. I appreciate your responses.
I did want to stay because I’ve transferred so much already, but I really dislike it here. It would make partial sense to stay. But every semester I tend to have problems with people here. And I have no friends in or out of school either. I’m getting older too.
I’m not doing well as I used to due to circumstances and mental health; it’s very isolating too. I still want the degree. I don’t think I’ll work in engineering after as I’ve had the same experiences in the workplace. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to graduate based on how it’s been if I stay. To make matters worse, even making connections for jobs hasn’t been great in this field either; there’s no support at this school for me. I don’t feel wanted here.
Do you think jobs would be skeptical if I got a general engineering degree despite work experience or projects?
