Resolved Question: Should I move back to a local school?

10 January 2012, 6:28 pm

I was a student at University of Michigan-Flint. It was a small local campus of U of M. I felt comfortable there when I first started, then all my friends started transferring to different schools and I felt really alone. I decided that I needed a fresh start and transferred to Michigan State University for Fall 2011, which I couldn't attend and I ended up just taking a semester off and getting a job. I'm enrolled for the following semester, Spring 2012, but now that I'm here admissions is telling me that I have some issues and its going to take some time to resolve. Until then I won't be able to register for classes. I'm scared of falling too far behind. But if I withdraw again I'd be wasting another semester, basically taking a whole year off. I honestly feel like shit. I moved to Michigan State because I felt alone at UM-Flint. But here at Michigan State sometimes I feel overwhelmed. My friends here all have there own social circles, which they are kind enough to try and include me. But I still feel out of place. I guess I feel alone at Michigan State too. I'm completely lost. I don't want to drop out of college all together, but I don't know where I should go. I can go back to the UM-Flint and be alone, or I can stay at MSU and feel overwhelmed with trying to catch up, and meet new people. I do miss my home as well. But I just want to graduate. Please somebody tell me what I should do!... Read More »
