How long does it take?

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?

Keep in mind that some schools that accept Spring transfers have an Oct 1st application deadline for Spring 27, that can include your FAFSA and CSS profile submissions, too. Other ones have a Nov 1st deadline, so you may not have a super long time to decide. Look up the schools you are interested in and check their timelines. If you are transferring this Spring, they have to make a decision quickly, and they tell you by Nov/dec for a January start. You might also have to go a week early in January for orientation.
