I am currently at university in edinburgh studying the only course I have ever wanted to study, but I am not settling in well, I do not like the city that much as I find it very snobby and have not made any great friends. All my friends from home went to glasgow, which i love and they still hang out together. Should I consider moving to a place I love even if it means giving up a course and career that I have wanted to do for years?

I would say no, stay with your course and the job you want to do. Your friends will stay with you as long as you all work it out. I have friends 13 hours away from by car and we still keep i touch and organize to do things. If you are learning what you want to do with your life that is important. It may be difficult right now but your future will secured. Stick to it and I am sure you will come out ahead in the long run. Talk to your friends too and see what they think, true friends will help you stay the course.

i think you should do whatever makes you happiest. if your career is more important to you than a fulfilling social life then stick with the school. you must weigh your long term objectives. if you switch schools, what benefit will you get other than having fun? if you stay you will have what you have dreamed of. don't be so quick to rule the town as snobby, can everyone who lives there be that way? if so, just give yourself a year at your current university and then make the decision as to whether or not you should leave. it's still really early in the semester to decide. most importantly at the end of the day, remember you need to be happy. just think if your life was over tomorrow and you could look back, what would you have rather had?

Stick it out by all means. Study what you love. You can always visit back and forth with your friends. With email at the tips of your fingers, you can keep in touch with them easily. Making friends takes time. Friendship is rarely an immediate thing. Give it time. Real friendships that develop will be of much value to you as time goes on. They are worth the wait. Meanwhile, keep up with your old friends via email and snail mail. They will be very interested in hearing about all of the new things you are discovering about your new career field.

Understand the difference between real happiness and illusionary happiness.
Real happiness is paid for before you enjoy it.
Illusionary happiness costs you later.
It sounds to me like changing your long term life for being around friends and family is an illusion, you'll pay for it ten years from now in a cost of regret for the loss of your preferred career.
Staying with the temporary situation of studying what you want in a place you may not like will be the price of enjoying your career later.

Think about it this way: in five years, would you look back and be sorry you didn't get to pursue your course of study? If you think it wouldn't bother you, then by all means go somewhere else to study. But if you feel that you would be sorry, then stick it out because it's what you really want.

i think its not worth it to move cos of some temporary discomfort. like u arent going to be there forever so get wot u came for and leave them snobby folks ok.
it may hurt for a while but at least the lonelines shld drive u to spend more time with ur books.
few folks attract friends like brilliant people so just go at it, by the time ur grades are spinning everyone would want to be near u!!!!
all the best...

What baffles me is the way it style of feels as though they have discovered sufficient approximately piano/different device to understand what pitches correspond with the letters, yet they see analyzing song as being too confusing. comparable quantity of attempt is going into the two technique, rather. we gained't motivate or push human beings to income to study song; we are no longer their mothers and dads, neither is their training our situation. additionally, having a coverage like refusing to form the respond they p.c. would make experience, yet in basic terms ignoring those questions makes extra experience. Y!A won't no longer enable such questions, for sure. So, we could in basic terms cope with it. If it bugs you this plenty, then do in basic terms no longer study the questions. Edit: i'm rather shocked as quickly as I pay attention approximately consumer-friendly college song training those days. whilst i became in first grade (age 6), we had song classification as quickly as each week (as many colleges do), and the instructor taught us plenty. We did no longer in basic terms sing the little songs in the books, yet she additionally made up video games so we would learn be conscious values, time signatures, rests, and easy dynamic symbols. That became in basic terms the 1st of many sturdy song getting to know reports I had, yet that one has stayed with me. It makes me unhappy to pay attention that different training weren't this way and that that's never the case those days.

think carefully, i tried to please my parents my whole life i choose something that would please them instead of myself. well it might not seem as though my situation is similiar at all to you. but do what your heart says to you. if you think your future will do better if you do in a certain way do it. follow your heart. for my point of view i thought it would wise to be where you are now but like i said follow your heart. you will be more confident and be your own captain of the ship. good luck.
