I am currently I Freshman at Providence College and I am considering transferring to a school in Boston next fall. I honestly like PC and I have been making friends here and staying involved, but I've always wanted to go to the school in the heart of a city. When I was looking at schools my senior year of high school I wanted something fairly large and in the city- the exact opposite of my tiny public high school with a graduating class of around 90 students. I liked the feel of PC and chose it over the business program at UMass Amherst. Now that I am here, I feel trapped between the huge number of core classes and the smaller campus I just feel like I'm trapped both physically and academically. I am paying a lot to go to school, and I honestly feel like I should transfer. I want to go somewhere in Boston with a good business program next year- I'm thinking maybe Northeastern? One thing I do like about PC is the school spirit and feel of community, but on the other hand I tend to feel like I'm at a huge high school because everyone seems to know each other. I know many people will tell me to wait it out, but I feel like I failed myself. I don't know how I ended up at a small liberal arts school when I've always wanted to go tom schools like George Washington in DC and Northeastern. (I actually applied and got into GWU senior year with a pretty good scholarship). Does anyone have any advice? I know many will tell me to wait it out because it will get better etc., but I sometimes feel like I don't want to let myself like PC. I'm disappointed in myself for not picking a larger, more city-like school. I feel like I got cold feet t during senior year and instead of focusing on city schools I focused on smaller, more suburban schools. Does it seem like I simply fell back into my comfort zone of more suburban, smaller schools? I just don't know what to think and I feel like I can't truly enjoy my experience here at PC because all I do is think about how I want to be a larger city school. If anyone could please help me that would be amazing!!
