Has anyone transferred to a different college? How did it change you?

Question

I hate the environment I am in. I am an angry ***** in this environment. Feel unnoticed by guys, ugly. I'm just tired of it. I am an looking to find my kind of people. Yet I don't know who they are. In this environment, I am just an imitation of what I see. I am not me. Should I go far away for college?

There are many things I want to achieve, but where I am now, there is a block. Maybe I am just stupid. I dont' want my grades to go down, yet I am no longer interested in education. Things have not been going smoothly.

Answer 1

This is my 2cents

College is not right for every person just getting out of high school. In fact, I feel that many young adults are not ready for the pressures of college at 18-19 years old. I went to college at that age and experienced the same issues as you. I felt unnoticed, unimportant, so angry, and completely uninvolved with my studies.

I think you need to find yourself, because one you hit 30 and haven't found yourself, you will be very unhappy. I am glad that for myself, I took time off from college to find myself, determine what made me happy, and to learn what it means to LIVE.

I definitely think that moving from one college to another can provide a different scene including new people, but it also can have severe consequences. Problem: if you move before investigating, you may find yourself in the same situation. Also, do realize, that other people cannot create the happiness for you, so moving from one college to another will not remove the unhappiness that is still inside you.

I think it would help to talk to a counselor to get their insight as they deal with this quite often. I really think its not a matter of what college you are attending, but more of what makes you happy and what you need to do to find yourself....

Answer 2

You're going to meet the same people at your new school, but it's an adjustment since I did that and I wasnt worried about dating or anything if it happened it happened no biggie, but you need to focus on your education right now and let things happen naturally.
