I have just completed my freshman year at a small college in New England. I was very excited to begin my college experience, but I immediately felt like I had made the wrong decision. I told myself that it was just because I hadn't found the right group of friends, but even once I had a plethora of people around, all of whom I love dearly, I still feel like something's missing. I have wanted to transfer since half way in of 1st semester, and the feeling, although sometimes put on the back burner, never really went away.
I told my parents that I wanted to finish the year, do a semester at my community college, and then transfer somewhere else after that. However, their main concern is finances- seeing as I'm paying close to state school prices for my private school. If I lose my scholarship or don't get awarded enough financial aid money, my parents will not let me go. Seeing as transfer students don't typically get priority, is it worth it to stay unhappy at my current school, or take the chance and hope something works out in the near future?
