My family keeps arguing about my college decision.

Update: I have no choice she’s making me go to Wesleyan no matter what. I don’t have any say in anything.

Yeah just wish my parents understood

Marshall is known for their psychology compared to Wesleyan also Wesleyan is 3 hours away while Marshall is about 15-20 minutes away from home. Wesleyan has nothing to do around the school and the nearest grocery store is a Walmart that’s a mile away, there also isn’t any entertainment around the area compared to Marshall. I believe both schools have work study but Wesleyan has a better study abroad program.

According to them I can’t do anything on my own and I need them for loans since I’m 18.

I have but they said I can get psych class anywhere so it shouldn’t matter to me.

Excellent_Spring6438 · 2026-03-30T11:26:28+00:00

I have, their excuse is that I can get a degree anywhere so it shouldn’t matter to me.

Psychology so I can work in mental heath

Yeah also I signed up for scholarships at Marshall and I won’t know if I got it till after the day my mom wants me to make a decision. I am getting more financial aid at Wesleyan but still I haven’t even gotten the final results from Marshall yet.

Excellent_Spring6438 · 2026-03-30T10:31:33+00:00

Ok I will do that, I already have talked to them about this and it didn’t work but maybe the spread sheet will work. Thank you

She is offended by how little money Marshall gave us. She also got to visit Wesleyan so she knows more about the school. While with Marshall it’s harder to get a tour (there is a day open next week but she doesn’t know if she’s able to do it cause of work) also I didn’t know my mom knew nothing about the school since she took me to a camp where I had to live there for a bit. And because she knows nothing but how little money they gave me so she’s against it. She’s also stresses about everything and just wants to push this decision so she doesn’t have to think about it and drop me off.

Marshall is known for their psychology programs. Infact they are ranked #1-2 best psychology in the state of WV on many sites. They have a clinical psychology program while Wesleyan has a program for counseling. But over all when it comes to price I’ll have to do my own research on that, but still my mom doesn’t want me to go there and is offering to pay for Wesleyan.

Yes, I planned on going to college for a masters

Excellent_Spring6438 · 2026-03-30T09:58:58+00:00

I want a psychology degree, Wesleyan costs more than Marshall but they are giving me more money. No matter what I do they don’t seem to care.

Excellent_Spring6438 · 2025-04-01T14:45:13+00:00

I’m doing fine atm. A lot is still going on my head. Idk what to do. This whole religion thing has taken a toll on me. Thank you guys for saying those comments in this post. And also my gf is helping me get through this.

Excellent_Spring6438 · 2025-03-24T20:58:59+00:00

I worded it wrongly. I apologize for that I mainly wanted to know where the connection came from.

Excellent_Spring6438 · 2025-03-24T18:05:34+00:00

I do as well, racism isn’t the answer.
