I have been at Arizona State for a little over 3 weeks now. I’m a little homesick and the people here are rude. I know it’s not the midwest and people don’t say “Bless you” when you sneeze but it it a little ridiculous. My floor almost always smells like weed and people are drunk screaming down the halls nearly every night of the week. My roommate has a longtime boyfriend since she is from around here.He commutes here from their hometown so he doesn’t have a dorm. They are always together, and he is always in our dorm. He is weird and never brushes his teeth and shit and so he uses the bathroom and never washes his hands. When they leave I wipe down all the doors because that is disgusting. My roommate used to give him the key to come up when he didn’t have class. I talked to her about it because it’s weird for me to have a stranger in my room when I’m not there or even when it’s just me and him. He’s really weird and awkward. Luckily he at least isn’t in here without her anymore. Just today was obnoxious alone. I was sitting on my laptop at my desk. They were laying up in bed together and she was giggling and they were like spanking each other and laughing and lord knows what else. Then he fell asleep and she was watching some show on her iPad really loud without headphones. They ended up getting up and leaving. I had the room to myself, I had just gotten out of the shower. I had a towel on, it was falling somewhat and i was trying to put pants on but i didn’t get a chance to get them on because the door was opening and my towel was falling so my hands went to grab my towel.my roommate said “oh sorry” and proceeded to walk in with her boyfriend. I felt so violated. I rushed to grab clothes to bring to the bathroom because i obviously wasn’t going to change in front of them. I came out and kept really silent because thats what I do when I’m angry. They just talk in their own world anyway. Not only has the roommate situation sucked, my suitemate will wake me up at three in the morning because for some reason she brings her latest hookup into the bathroom with her while they’re both drunk and is talking super loudly and laughing in the bathroom. I literally use ear plugs that usually make things sound proof and i can hear her through those. I only have 2 people i’d consider friends here. Everyone here is outgoing and outwardly friendly but theyre not nice people. From the outside looking in, I fell for their outgoing personalities only to find that they are rude. I don’t mind drinking at all, and you can smoke on your own time. I guess I was pretty naive, but it took living here to realize the ASU motto, Eat, drink, smoke and sleep. I miss home, I miss my friends. It’s really hard to find my type of friends at this school. I started looking up schools with the nicest student bodies and with schools that are well-known for journalism and psychology and found myself really drawn to University of Southern California and Northwestern University. Both are expensive but i am not as worried about that. I think as a transfer I could get in. I know everyone feels homesick while at college and wants to leave, I am just not enjoying myself so far. I joined the Entertainment Business Association and was going to join another club and volunteer for a animal association but I just haven’t really met that many people from it. People will just up and leave at the end. I really am not enjoying myself here. How long do I wait until I know I want to transfer? I don’t know if I should transfer even at all? I need feedback guys.
You will get a roommate at the next school, too.
And, how can you be sure the other problems will be any different, either?
I’d strongly recommend that you stay and try to work through the issues.
where else did you apply and were accepted?
Are you SURE $$ is NOT a problem? USC charges $60000/ per year for tuition ALONE .R+B will cost you an additional 15,000.
USC DOES accept a lot of transfer students. Northwestern and most “elite” colleges dont, however.You will find trying to transfer “up” to a more prestigious college will be much, much harder than getting accepted as a freshman.
Your parents have $200,000 set aside that they can easily spend on your college education?
