Resolved Question: Homesick and debating transfer?

29/11/11

Originally I graduated and lived all my life in Southern California. Now I’m at an out of state school on the east coast. I completely underestimated homesickness and I suffered for it. My first month at school was horrible and I found myself regretting my decision to come here. I stopped eating and I had random nervous and panic attacks. To keep myself busy, I joined a professional fraternity. However, now that Thanksgiving is over I am back in my dorm room and I feel homesick again.

I’m very family oriented and I have a girlfriend back at home. I know that it is only a few weeks until Christmas break, but I do not know how I will cope with the extended periods of school after break.

I’m debating a transfer after this year or the next because it is taking a toll on my emotional health. I have made a lot of friends here, however, i just do not see myself graduating from this university. I just don’t feel happy here.

Also, My little brother is going to graduate in a year too. I do not want my mom to be alone because my dad is usually very busy.
