I cant stand being at my school

<p>Why can’t you transfer?</p>

<p>It seems like at this point, you need a change. Any sort of change. Since you can’t transfer out of Case until next semester, try doing something out of the ordinary this weekend. If you’re a big partier, stay in this weekend and hang around the dorms. If you’re not a big partier, go out and party. Since you’re this unhappy, you obviously need to change something.</p>

<p>I don’t believe that there’s “nothing” to do on weekends. </p>

<p>It’s like the whole, “if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.” type thing. Go do something you normally wouldn’t do.</p>

<p>the second post read</p>

<p>and you answered with</p>

<p>tw14 didn’t say any major, they said engineering major and then they told you what they would do in your shoes, go to the counseling services that your school provides to try to get help to figure out what you should do.</p>

<p>Its weird but that was my first course of action last year when i wasnt doing well. I went to a psych counselor and career center (apologies for the spelling errors) and the counselor and they werent helpful. however, at the career center, we talked about different careers and majors and engineering was one of the only ones that interested me (that, accounting, and pharmacy). I also took the test that they recommended that I take (that personality test) and it said i would be great in psychology, but the thing is that I loathe psychology. idk maybe its just the pre reqs that dont strike me as useful or I just have bad teachers for them or both</p>

<p>@Pea
I guess I just didnt fully understand what he was saying</p>

<p>“The people here just are so snooty and stuck up because they get straight A’s and frown down on people who dont.”</p>

<p>How do you know their grades? How do they know yours?</p>

<p>Well, you might want to try the counseling services again, maybe a different counselor would be able to help. I’m not big on personality tests.</p>

<p>Magneto, Im gonna be serious for a minute here and say you dont have any personality issues. Believe me, I was in the same situation as you and I went to school in Chicago and absolutely despised every moment there. The rosy picture people painted was an overstatement really, maybe working there is different. In essence, transferring out when I had already transferred “in” wasnt feasible for me because it would have wasted more time and you dont know how this transfer of credits really goes from college to college.</p>

<p>Evaluate what is really bothering you. Is it the city? Will you be happy or more satisfied with a different and perhaps less intensive course of study? Should you get another roommate? Consider living in off campus housing? Or is the school? If its a culmination of all these factors, I’d say transfer out and start where you left off.</p>

<p>part of the problem is that your school only has around 5k undergrads i suggest you transfer out to somewher with 20+ undergrads it will be way funner</p>

<p>Hey OP,
I’m planning on applying next year to Case. Obviously, this thread makes me a little hesitant to go on with my planned visit. I was wondering if people in the humanities/nursing area have an easier time with the workload and frustrations then what you described in your post as an engineering major? I hope you are beginning to feel better about things, and any information you have would be much appreciated!</p>

<p>Magneto,</p>

<p>didn’t you write on another thread that you have been suspended from school for a year for cheating?</p>
