I had to come back home, I was very homesick and hated my living situation. Well, now I'm back at home, at another university, but I want to transfer again because the school I'm at now doesn't have what I want to major in. Am I crazy for wanting to transfer so many times? And will it take me forever to get my degree because I'm transferring so many times? Should I just stay at the school I'm already at?

You aren't crazy, and many people have trouble deciding what to do, but I would recommend that you think through where you are trying to go before transferring again. It seems that you have been reacting to negatives, rather than going toward what you really want. Yes, it may take you longer to graduate, but that is better than not graduating at all. My only concern is that with all of this switching around, you can't possibly be experiencing the real college experience, because while everyone else is staying in place and developing friendships and getting involved in activities, you are switching again.

I did the same thing almost...I went to two Universities and a Community College...I think you're okay as long as most of your credits transfer....I didn't run into any problems except for my writing class from the first University I went to didn't transfer to the community college...and now there's a new dean and he's saying that it counts as a repeat course because when I first transferred they said I would have to take all my writing classes through them when this writing class should have counted for one so they won't even let me use it as an elective....If you want to transfer again though just talk to the school first and make sure things will transfer how you want them too. And maybe make sure that you're going to stay at the school you transfer to.

You need to go to the school that has what you want to major in, unless you have doubts about what you want.
If you ever get stuck in a bad living situation again, just deal with it at that University. Find new roomies and move within the school. There are always people looking to share the rent. Your credits from your college experiences should transfer to a new school and count toward your degree in some way.

No, you are not crazy it is understandable. If you are at a college that does not have your major, and you are sure that it is what you want to do, then you should transfer. It may take an extra semester at most to graduate, but if you meet with an advisor every semester they will tell you exactly what you need to do to graduate on time! Make sure that when you transfer this time, it is for real, because you may have a hard time transferring again!

i don't think you're crazy but i can tell you that it will slow you down...make sure that the next school you pick has your degree of choice and is close to home max 2 hours away...you could also take your basics where you are now and get acclimated to college life then transfer to a larger university of your choice

The farthest you'll pass in education at a collection college is an associates degree. then you'll change to a larger college. refer to the human beings on the team college, make sure they cutting-edge that degree, previously than you note. I went to CC nicely proper after accurate-company, graduated in 09, and began at a school this spring.
