I still think the OP should give it a little more time, since Dartmouth does meet some of their criteria, and one or two months is not enough time to judge fit. So many college students are unhappy these first few months, regardless of where they are, and the OP has the added disadvantage of being classified as a sophomore when it is their first year. I would try to change that!

By all means continue the plan to transfer, but don’t let that prevent you from trying to make friends or join activities. It is possible things could get better. If they don’t then fine, transfer.

ps one of my kids had a medical leave freshman year, and reentered after everyone else had chosen roommates etc…basically a similar situation of being officially in one class but in reality part of the next class…so I know that is a tough situation socially
