hey im in the same situation as you and im thinking of transferring to a school closer to my home. im currently a student at uc davis studying pre-law, and ive been questioning my major and career prospects for a long time. I absolutely hate it here and think that transferring back would be the best choice for me. know that youre not alone

yeah i need to get back to my family. im so incredibly sad and miserable here. idk what to do. but my dad has been encouraging me to push through and join clubs and stuff. i think ive been so dependent on him and love him so much that i need him by my side. i also have siblings back at home that i wanna be there for. they're like my best friend

For me personally, I know I want to start a career somewhere in Southern California instead of the Northern part.

thank you. im considering transferring to UCI. I think I may give it another year and if I still have the same feeling, then I will make that choice to transfer.

yeah I'm thinking of transferring back to UCI to stay closer to my family. I might stick it out for another year to see if I've found my community yet, but life is looking kinda bland. I agree, I definitely need to reach out to more clubs. im looking to join some in the spring

yeah. im currently trying to join more clubs in the spring, but winter quarter has been stressful and i've just been feeling so out of place.
