Will things improve, or should I make a bold move?

Part of me feels like going to a different school would be officially cutting the ambillical cord between me and my parents and would mark a decision truly made on my own to reflect my personal needs and desires. The liberating feeling of making such a decision, I reason, would be so invigorating and exciting that I would gain motivation to work harder, since I would feel more in control of my own decisions and more independent overall. I feel like I’m here because it was the most comfortable decision with my family but that it is not really the best school for me. In short, the social life at this school may be a little too pronounced…I’m a chameleon extrovert/introvert, so I can fit in quite well in almost any social situation and be pretty popular and well-liked wherever I go, but in all honesty I would prefer a school that emphasizes intellectualism over alcoholism/football.



That says it all. Just transfer. You seem like you’ll make friends anywhere you transfer and you also want a more serious academic atomosphere and independence.

Btw, can you tell us what school you’re currently at and what school you are considering transferring to? It might help more.
