<p>Because I withdrew so early, I didn’t have the credits necessary to transfer and many of the schools I was interested in only accept fall transfers anyway. I had initially planned to stick out the rest of the first year so that I could transfer in fall 2006, but at some point I just snapped and I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t see the point of spending another six months being unhappy and stressed. That happened about a week or two before the end of the term. Anyway, the result was that my only option was to re-apply as freshman. I decided to apply only to my state university (UConn) for two reasons: the application deadline was Feb. 1st and it is much more affordable for my family than other schools I was considering. So that’s where I’m going in the fall. I don’t know whether I’ll try to transfer or not. Until then, I’m taking time off from school and trying some new things.</p>
