Academically my first school was fine. I’m just not one for dorming or being away from home. I live two and a half hours from where this school was and in the Spring I was literally coming home every weekend.

Also the atmosphere was getting to me. I’m not a big partier and I don’t drink, but that was mainly what people did for fun on the weekends. It was really hard to connect with anyone. People started assuming I thought I was better than them and stuck up because I turned down going to parties whenever I was asked. That really wasn’t the case. I have a family history of alcoholism plus I was and still am an education major. The police weren’t kind at my school and I knew several people with underages only two months into school. I told people this flat out and they weren’t accepting. Apparently I wasn’t any worth to them if I was uncomfortable going to parties and drinking, even though I passed no judgement on them.

I love my community college actually. I don’t see any difference in the quality and difficulty of my classes and I love that I can go home after my last class everyday. It’s much cheaper too, which is always a plus and I can keep a part-time job.
