That is the question that's been on my mind for a while now.
The situation:
I'm 22 I'm upper semester at a prestigious music college in Boston. academically I'm very satisfied, socially I'm not at all. the problem with my school is:
1. everyone is musicians
2. everyone is super into their gig/career and doesn't relax and have fun
3. they're all fucking musicians!
this past weekend I spent two nights at a full on university in south eastern mass. after that experience I felt really jipped about my school, I pay twice as much and get twice as less. I really had fun it was normal people that love to have fun and party, not like my college.
I have a bunch of Gen eds that I need to finish up, so what I'm going to do is transfer to a real school for one semester.
at first I was like "I'll just go party with my friends at their school for a semester"
then I was like "screw massachusetts, why not California"
but now I'm like "why not study in Europe or Australia"
The only thing that prevents me from going abroad is I wouldn't be doing it through a study abroad program I'd totally just go there solo and I'm worried about being 1000's of miles from home and having everyone already be Cliqued off and being isolated. So I'm gonna try and have someone tag along with me we'll see how that turns out. I have a friend from home who's at a college in australia and she might stick around for one more if I come so that could be cool.
I just wanted to get peoples opinion about this.
