No one knows what a school is TRULY like until one is in residence, so don’t be too hard on yourself! Everyone goes through an adjustment period. It is possible that you may end up loving Colgate. I’m sure there are SOME kids with similar interests who also don’t like to drink themselves into oblivion. Possibly you may not be looking in the right places. What about some service clubs/organizations? Are you musically inclined? What about those types of groups? Faith based groups? Possibly even a LBGQT or advocate organization?

If you do decide to transfer, generally speaking, High school grades and your standardized test scores will become less and less important relative to your college record, with the more college you have under your belt. Since you will have only completed one semester by the time the applications are due (for fall 2016), they will still be considered.

You may need to broaden your list to include other schools as some on your list may be extremely hard to get into. And you need to have junior standing to transfer to UCLA and Berkeley.
