I am a freshman at a small liberal arts college. I had been accepted into my first choice college for the spring term and came here for the fall. I originally was planning on staying all four years but decided I wanted to go to my first choice in the spring. (many others at my school have talked about transferring since it is so small and boring) I have made friends here but they are more like acquaintances but I can’t seem to let myself form bonds with them since I will be leaving in about a month or so. I have a few questions

1.)How should I tell my roommate I am leaving? We have become friends and she thinks I love it here and often expresses how she doesn’t understand how anyone would want to transfer. Our other roommate had moved out the first week so when i leave she will be in a triple room alone. Also she often mentions the school I am leaving for and says that she can’t imagine ever going there because it i so big and asks for my opinion. She has no idea that I am leaving and I don’t want to make it awkward. How should I mention it to her? Do you think I should wait till after Thanksgiving, leaving two weeks left?

2.)I am nervous about starting Spring term at such a large school, any suggestions?

3.)Now that I am 100% sure I am leaving I don’t really try to make friends. I have people that I talk to but now I am just trying to finish out the semester and leave but I feel like everyone around me (since its so small) is judging me for not really putting myself out there like i did at the beginning? Also i feel like I just want to go home on the weekends since it can get boring and if you aren’t hanging out with people (since its such a small school) people pity you

4.) How should i tell my advisor that i am leaving? I am suppose to be having meeting soon but why would i if i dont have o register for classes?

I am more focused on the first two questions those are my biggest concerns thanks!
