The transition from high school to college has been a struggle. It was such a mistake to stay in the city for college. All the friends I was used to seeing everyday went and left. It didn’t really hit me until college actually started, and the sense of loneliness set in. I was actually so unhappy with my choice to stay in the city. Being in Baruch feels too much like high school again, but without the familiar faces. Right after the first day of class, I decided that I wanted to see if I could transfer to Binghamton University for the spring term. So I literally started and made my application on August 29th. It was that bad for me.  I feel like I’m missing out on so much by going to a commuter school.

I’ve already visited my friends a couple of times at Bing, and it just seems so much better compared to Baruch. The food is cheap, the campus is nice, and the freedom is great. It also seems like it’s much easier to make friends and socialize when you dorm. I’ve already made some good friends here at Baruch, but I still feel I’d be better off going to school elsewhere.

Now I just have to do well in school and wait for their response to my application after November 1st. I really hope I get accepted.
