Was anyone happier at their old school / regret transferring?

Mi_Lie,
It is very common for students to feel this way because transferring is as difficult as the change you made going to your first school. Except this time, everyone is not involved.
How long have you been at your new school? Sometimes it is hard to make the adjustment. I knew students who hated their school their first year and then fell in love with it afterwards. Joining clubs is a good idea, but if you are in a city - is it a college town like Boston? Can you find people outside of your school to hang out with?
Try to find other transfers at your school - there are often groups for it on facebook. These people can introduce you to people on their floor and so on and so forth.
Good luck and sorry you aren’t as happy as you expected. It just goes to show, no one can ever really know until they are there.
