To start off I am a college freshman in my second semester. I am in Junior college right now. Basically i am in a program where i go to junior college and after 2 years they give me an associates degree and then i am automatically admitted into the main college (which is a good university). I live on campus in the dorm rooms.
I have 3 or 4 really great friends here at college. and then a few other people that come around. That is about it though. And that isnt enough for me.
When i was in high school, my senior year I had the kind of house where people came and went. I also had a girlfriend. I lived in a small town as well. If there wasnt anything going on Me and my girlfreind would just kind of hang out at my house and drink. people would stop by and some would hang out for the night, some would just stop by for a little then go out, etc.
And that was something that i liked a lot. to have my great friends come by to see me all the time, a girlfriend that i really liked, money, and everything else. I was just really loving life at that point and it was great.
Now i am at college and I have no girlfriend, not too many freinds, and no money. I find things to do but i just flat out dont like the majority of people i meet at this school and they dont seem to be too into making friends with me either.
But i am doing very well academically and enjoy not living with my parents.
I am accepted to Montclair State University for Fall 2006. It is on the same level as the school i currently attend and probaly is slightly better. If i went there i would have to commute to school. I am not too sure if i want to live with my parents though and i dont think that i would be able to afford any kind of apartment or house (even with roomates). However my parents have said that my Junior year they would give me $500 a month for a place to live off campus (they did the same for my brother, who is 2 years older then me).
The other thing that has me waivering on this is that my buddy who is a smart guy and who did much better then me in high school, failed out of Montclair State in his first semester there. He was an honor roll student and stuff and scored 1150 on the SATS (i scored 1230 so we are comparable there as well). But i didnt try very hard in High school though and i am doing great in college.
But i really need advice on this. I am not happy at the school where i am right now but i wouldnt say its miserable either. On a scale of 1-10 i would say i am like a 3 or 4.
What do you guys think i should do? I can
1. Transfer after this semester to the other school and live with my parents/hope that i can convince them to pay for an apartment/house (they are paying for my school and would save loads of money if i transferred to a state school so maybe i can convince them but its an uphill battle)
2. Graduate from Junior college in Spring 2007 and get my Associates degree and then get a job
3. Graduate from Junior college and then transfer schools
4. Just stay where i am now, graduate from junior college, then graduate from the main school.
