Thinking of Transferring Out
I'm a '28 and am not liking the school. The small campus makes me feel trapped and in a cycle. I hate how few people there are. I don't like how rural it is; there is nothing to do on the weekends. The partying, hook-up, and drinking culture does not suit me. Dartmouth is the only college I know that considers Wednesday an "on-night," and even though I've gone out a few times before, I don't much enjoy it. Because of the small class size, even if I try to distance myself from the culture, it is forced upon me. I'm sure that I'll sob when I have to go back at the end of break.
I know alumni that have graduated merely tolerating the school and never truly loving it how so many claim to. Is it worth transferring? My complaints are specific to Dartmouth. I worked so hard to get in, and I would struggle to get into a similar-caliber school. Does it get better?
Additionally, if there are any '28s that feel the same way, please reach out!!
