Transferring from URI to a cosmetology school

<p>Hello! i’m new to this website, so i am still trying to figure out how to use it. haha
Anyway, i am a freshman (going to be a sophomore in the fall) at the university of Rhode Island.
i am miserable at uri and really don’t want to be there anymore. My passion is hair and makeup, which i have been passionate about since i was probably 4 or 5. so i really want to leave uri and go to a cosmetology school (like Aveda, Empire, Paul Mitchell, etc…) but i have absolutely no idea what to do. should i do a transfer? or withdraw and just start anew?
my grades for freshman year were OK, first semester i didn’t do so hot, but this semester i got mostly B’s…i don’t know if those grades will effect anything or…
i am just so lost and i have no idea what to do!
Please help!</p>

<p>Google ‘cosmetology school’ to find out general information and then go to the websites of the specific schools you’re interested in.</p>

<p>Cosmetology school is a technical school, not an academic college/university. They are not going to care about your college grades, some don’t even require a HS diploma.</p>

<p>No point in continuing in an education where you’re miserable. My advise to you would be to explore your options in cosmetology. Look up accredited beauty schools and read up on their course structure. I’m looking into cosmetology schools in Wichita KS at the moment. I’m sure you’ll find one close to you as well. Good luck! :)</p>
