Would like a fresh perspective about transferring please

@islandmama1

Would you even be able to do a 2nd year transfer to the state school

Yes, the college I’m looking at takes transfers of any year, especially since I was accepted before.

@islandmama1

• Are your parents able to afford the state school?

Yes, it would actually be cheaper since I would be living off campus.

@islandmama1

Do you really feel that you’ve given yourself enough time to try to adjust before you think of leaving?

I’m split on this. Part of me says yes, and part says no. I have gone to many events, clubs, and interest meetings, but I have not made a good connection with anyone in the group, and there are not a ton that are super interesting to me either.

@islandmama1

You don’t mention a roommate but since you don’t is it safe to assume they are, for the most part, kind and respectful of the small space you share?

Sadly no

Somewhat, I have had issues with cleanliness and the fact that they stay up very late on weeknights, but other than that not too bad.

@islandmama1

Can you visit home on some weekends to get a dose of family and friends?

I do, and I have. However, when I come back to my campus, I always feel like I have lost ground socially, and everyone has become closer. So I have been trying to stay as much as possible.

@islandmama1

Does your school have a career center where you can get some help figuring out what you might like to study/choose for a career, including access to alumni in a variety of fields you could connect with?

They do! I actually reached out to them recently but have not heard anything back yet.
