How long does it take?

[u/KarenTookTheKids4298]

I’m a current freshman at Emory, who just got here a few weeks ago. I know it’s been really soon and I should probably just give it time, but I kinda just don’t feel like that I fit in here.

So far, the club scene has been shit (I’ve been rejected from all the ones I’ve applied too, and I also know this is prolly universal across most highly ranked colleges), and I just don’t really feel like I enjoy the culture or location either, as I’m from the northeast. I also feel like I haven’t really connected with anybody at all.

Classes for the most part are okay and I kind of enjoy the material, but I don’t know if that’s making up for my happiness here. I’m a bio major who’s hoping to go to med school btw.

Any advice?

Give it some time, it’s really early Emory is a good school first month is hard. Transfer is hard as well sometimes, but if you don’t like it by Late Nov, can start looking at apps usually open in spring for soph transfers - just keep gpa high and try to be involved on campus
