<p>Ok, I just saw your latest post, OP. If you can make it through the year at UIUC - and of course, you can! - it may be much easier and less stressful to transfer next fall, at the beginning of a new academic year. Take the rest of the year to think about what you really want to do, where you really want to be. Go take a walk around UIC, DEPaul, Loyola campus and see how you like it, see if you can imagine yourself being there.<br>
Best of luck! </p>
