Not really digging college so far...

I’ve been at tufts for about a month now and I’m really not liking it here. I just don’t feel like I fit in. It seems like its so quirky and there’s lots of richer more stuck up people and the only fun people seem to only want to smoke and drink rather than actually have a good time. I feel like I’m a genuinely outgoing person and I think I’m pretty smart, and I think I have my own quirks, but it’s almost like Tufts is too out there for me in terms of quirkiness and intellectual-ness. Like maybe I’m not intellectually curious enough to fit in here? Maybe I’m not quirky enough? I’m from the south and maybe that’s playing a role in my adjustment too.
And like is there a way to know if youre not the new england NESCAC school type? I could see myself having fun at big school athletic type events!
And maybe I just need to be a little closer to home to find people with similar backgrounds. All my best friends had really similar backgrounds to me.
I just don’t know what to think… I’m so unhappy I’ve relapsed into this depression that I had all but gotten rid of in high school.
When do you know it’s time to call it quits? I could still get out of here in time to be somewhere else next semester? Gah what to do
Thanks
