<p>it irks me when “friends” aren’t supportive of what life hands people- sometimes its a perfect plate, sometimes that plate doesn’t appear to be what you need or want, and sometimes the plate stinks, but in this case, it may not be your ideal (at this point) but that doesn’t mean it can’t be great place to be, depends on what attitude you have going in</p>
<p>I understand your frustration, but so long as you are dorming it (and not to say there is anything wrong with commuting), but college can be a million miles away or across the street emotionally for many people- you can sparkle and shine at your school even if its across the street and be really independent (don’t go home but once a month at most), or you can be clingly at a school on another coast- homesick, still dependent on old friends for everything, etc, your college experience will be what you make of it</p>
<p>and as others have said, look at the sources of the snooty remarks, and sometimes socalled friends don’t much act like it…so dismiss what they are saying and decide that you will go into this with an open mind and heart</p>
<p>if you think well, I am going to transfer, cool, but know that you need to live for today as well as the future, and you will do better gradewise for transfer if you are happy where you are</p>
<p>you may find you love this school, but if you go in irritated and mad, well, seems you are smart enough to know that is not a good thing</p>
<p>so, when mom says, hey, I can drive past you, say, yeah, cool when I visit once a month, so will all my laundry!!!</p>
