I went out of state for college to a fairly reputable (but not Stanford/Ivy level) university, and I miss home. Everything is so different and I feel like a made my decision hastily and was a little misinformed. Should I transfer back home to my state school (less reputable, but a lot cheaper)? I have no friends here and I’ve tried several activities and such but none of them has yielded any social connections. I just don’t feel like I fit in here. I like the academic part of the university (and I’m doing pretty well at that), but I’m just bored with the town and the people and my lack of a social life. Should I continue to try to find my niche or transfer back to my home state?
It’s not always easy finding friends in college, but education is the focus so you can imagine yourself back home and if you really feel you will be happier there with the education and the social aspect, then transferring might be better. If you like the education where you’re at and can deal with the environment, then you can save the hassle of moving. It’s all up to you where you feel it would be the best overall. Good luck!
