Okay, well, it's been decades since The Skeezyks was in college. So I can't relate to your situation directly, ItGoesOn. But it seems to me that this is YOUR life & the fact that everyone else loves your school is beside the point. The question is: do you love it? And the answer to that appears to be no. On the other hand, I don't know how long you've been at this school. Since you're a Freshman I would presume perhaps since this past September... so maybe 6 or 7 months? That's not a long time if this is your first experience living away from home.

The question I think you have to ask yourself is: am I just running back home because it's familiar & comfortable? If so, then doing so may only make it that much more difficult to leave the next time something comes up that would require you to do so. Most people, it seems like nowadays, move around. However, I'm sure not everyone does. There are no doubt still many people who spend their whole lives living happily in the same town they were born in. Were they to move away, they'd probably feel as disconnected as you do. So, there's nothing wrong with just living your life in one place, if that's what you want to do & there are enough resources there to make it possible.

Of course, there are also academic questions that come into play. Can you transfer all of your credits? Does the school you'd be going to have a program that would be of interest to you? What are the relative costs per credit? Would you live at home & thus save money? Would this be workable for you?

So, I would suggest, first of all, that you discuss your reasons for transferring with a school counselor & look into the academic questions. Then make a decision. Neither option is bad or good. It's really a matter of where you're going with your life & how you want to live it.
