I am currently a freshman at Florida State University, and I have been considering transferring next semester. I am orginally from Atlanta, Georgia, and Georgia Tech was my first choice. I was waitlisted and never accepted, and I didn’t apply to any other in state schools so FSU was my next best option. Right from when I decided, I knew FSU was not the place for me, and I still feel that way. I miss Atlanta, my home, and my family so much and it hasn’t really gotten better since I have moved in. I have joined clubs here, I’ve made friends, my roommate and I get along very well, and my classes are fine, but something is just really off and I don’t feel like I belong here. I applied to transfer to GA State next semester and got in, but my parents are making me finish out the semester before I transfer and I really don’t want to. I want to be closer to home and it would make me so much happier, so how do I convince them to let me? It has been really rough and I know a lot of freshman struggle at first but I just know that this is not the place for me and I want to leave as soon as possible. How do I talk to them and convince them to let me?
Show them this thread. Also, I’m not sure how this falls into Athletic Recruits. Moderators may want to move it.
I am not sure where to move it, or even if I should. But I am going to lock it. @skieurope may have a better idea where to move this so the OP can get some assistance.
OP has an identical thread in the transfer forum, so comments can be left there:
