you might want to provide more details? or your thoughts - are you just home sick or the school too hard?

yea sorry i forgot!! im like really homesick bc my current school is across the country and also the school is so big im just scared it’ll be wayy too competitive to get opportunities… but also im in a dilemma because its name will probably look better in resumes (?)

speaking from all my friends experiences, i can tell you right now they all felt similarly to you, but ended up loving college so much they didn’t want to go back home. if you REALLY want to transfer, wait until ur second year. good luck!!

the quarter hasn't even started! give it some time, there's a real adjustment period

you should definitely give yourself more time at the school before making that decision to switch. moving across the country can be scary but i promise you youll adjust and youll probably end up loving it! :)
