Trouble Adjusting to College

Sorry you are having trouble. There are many threads on the forum with suggestions to reach out socially, hopefully you can find them. I’m thinking of some general relationship advice such as remember why you chose the college in the first place? It kind of sounds like there is nothing you like about it…is this true? Why did you go there? Surely there was a reason.

Whether to try another year depends a lot on how this year has gone, and finances as well. You’ve given it a good amount of time…what would change next year? It doesn’t sound like time is solving the problem.

As for this year, it seems as if there is only about a month left which is pretty short! It’s too late to join any clubs, but is there time to go to any clubs or activities that you hopefully checked out earlier in the year? Any connections with people in your class (studying for finals together can be a way to connect, or year end projects). Is there a counselor at your school or an adviser that you could share these thoughts with?

I don’t know that “freshman year was miserable” should be thought of as normal or as to be expected. Yes, there is an adjustment period at first that doesn’t last the whole first semester, let alone the whole year. Are you able to talk to your parents about it? Do you have financial options to try to transfer (sounds like in state would be cheaper anyway)?
