I really need help here. I'm a current student at an Ivy League university, but I have not been completely happy. I am a second semester freshman, and I had similar thoughts of transferring last semester, too. My grades last semester were okay (3.0), but my main concern is my happiness here. I have several acquaintances that I will talk to or party with, but everything just feels superficial to me. I feel so lonely. I am incredibly homesick, and I feel like being at school so far away from my family and friends has been really awful for my mental health.
I'm not sure if I should talk to a counselor here first, but as of now, I really just want to transfer back home to the state school in my hometown. I really am lost and have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any experience with these feelings? How did you cope with them?
