Very unhappy with college, what do I do?

No other magical school will make things better. You won’t magically get better grades there or make friends.

My advice:

  1. Today, go to the Counseling Center and talk to them.
  2. Finish the semester strong…get a tutor or go to professors office hours but finish up.
  3. Talk to a Psychiatrist over the summer. If you need to take a semester off to get your mental health in order, think about that. But talk to the Dean of Students about how to do that properly.
  4. Once you have that in order, then think about transferring or not.
  5. THink about what the actual issues are…what is it you want more of at a bigger college? DO you take advantage of anything now? So if you say you want more clubs or more professors to work with…do you do that now?
