I’m also a Dartmouth '14 who applied for transfer. I completely understand why you don’t like it here and I think you gave it PLENTY of a chance! I felt the same way by the end of fall quarter. I was extremely depressed as well and my parents were concerned about me.

I think you should be proud of yourself for having the guts to do what makes you happy and leave an ivy league school. I don’t know what your family is like, but mine has made it really hard for me and I’ve realized that all I want is to be happy, and that isn’t going to happen here.

I don’t know if you’ve heard from Pomona yet, but I really hope you get in! If you ever want to get lunch or something, message me privately.

Again, hope it all works out. This place definitely isn’t for everyone.
