Should I Transfer/Take a Semester Off?

I’m going to be picky about one thing you said. The international student has to speak English at least to a degree in order to take classes there. They have to get a certain score on the TOEFL/TOEIC exams to show proficiency in English before they are allow study abroad (The exception being a couple schools in California that offer classes in Chinese, but that’s a real rarity). Their English may not be the best, but it should be enough to get by and get along with you if you let yourself be open minded.

As for what you should, you sound very confused. Have you tried talking to a counselor about this? To be honest, no one can really know what’s best for you but you so the most I can say is that it seems worthwhile to follow up the place near home. Yes transfer students have a hard time finding good classes, but usually most schools if you really need a class you can get a note from the professor to join the class late even if it’s listed as being full.

Hope this helps and good luck!
