I spent my freshman year at a small regional Catholic University and enjoyed myself for the most part, but since it didn't have any name recognition I transferred to a well known national private research university for my sophomore year (which I am currently hating). I have no friends here and absolutely no sign of a social life. Thing is this school has a great name which is the most important thing to me. I would only consider transferring again if I was admitted to a school with an equal or better name. If that happens should I transfer again? I'm thinking a school in the northeast, where I'm from. Is this advisible? I mean I seriously don't have one friend here or even someone to consistently talk to even though I've made the effort. So should I transfer college for second time? Thanks in advance.
p.s.- would it matter to a chool i was trying to get into that i had already attended two other colleges?

you are all about materialism.
It is who you are in Christ that you should know.
God HAS your plans.
S-L-O-W down and let Him tell you what to do.
Again--you need to be looking at that man in the mirror,.........

In 10 years, when you are changing jobs, no one is going to ask you how many friends you had in college. I promise. You are NOT in college to make friends, you are there to receive an education.
That being said, stop trying to make friends and be one instead. Also, read some articles on networking, when you begin to network, you will find friends in the same race you are.
Also remember that this may be a time where you are being shown how to be happy with yourself. Never forget there are lessons in every aspect of life.

No don't transfer. Just study and complete your education. There are people in third world counties who are trying to steal your job. Do your very best. Forget about social life. There will be plenty of time for that when you finish. If you screw this up you will be poor the rest of your life. Work your but off.

In the grand scheme of things, where you went to school does not really matter. What is important is that you graduate and network with people in your chosen profession. The connections you make in college can work for your benefit for a long time, big name school or not.

No, don't change schools. You won't be happy there either. What you need to do is to make some friends. It sounds to me like that is the main reason why you aren't happy. You are bored. Find a couple of evening Bible groups. That is the best way I can think of for making friends. Another thing that you can do is to make a list of things that you like to do, and go find people who are doing them. You may also want to find a study group for some of your harder courses.

have confidence me, i've got taught on the college point at various diverse colleges and the place you get your BS/BA from pretty plenty makes NO distinction!!!! on the baccalaureate point that's approximately stable grades and getting ideas from professors which you artwork with/for.... the sole component that a "call college is stable for on the BA/S point is taking your funds in copious quantities!!! bypass to the small interior sight, low-priced college and get stable grades! Get to be attentive to, learn with and artwork for the professors you're taking your instructions below and then bypass to a huge Fancy Named college for the stages that count huge form, your MS, PhD MD LLD and so on....remember opposite to generally used propaganda, created by utilising the "call colleges" ... jap Michigan, Western Illinois, CSU @ Chico and Western Carolina, while working to your BS/A, are as stable as any Ivy..... The status starts to truly matter huge form on the Graduate college.point... then reckoning on the area of learn not something beats Chicago, Columbia, Cal Tech, Harvard, Berkley and so on..... artwork not person-friendly and keep your funds for Grad college... be happy at a school the place you will get a stable undemanding training, inexpensively! and artwork/learn at an grownup point...

If you are not happy, then you should try to transfer. They shouldn't really care that you have attended 2 other schools, as long as there was no disciplinary problems.
Good luck.

"Name recognition" will be you SOME gas mileage...but won't get you all the way "there".
Sounds like maybe you need to sit down and talk with some professionals in your field of study (if you have one).
And, btw, just WHAT does this "question" have to do with R&S?
