text: is this the right college for me? i am a freshman at a private school. my boyfriend goes to a public school in a different state. i really miss him and feel like it would be best if we were together. i don't particularly like it here, and i feel like i don't belong at this school sometimes. well..most of the time. it is a great school with great academics but i don't feel like they have anything to offer me. i guess my question is is it too early to tell if this is the right school for me? i understand that it may be that i am still getting used to it. try as best you can to get your boyfriend out of the equation.  i would suggest staying at least until the end of the semester, and then think about transferring.  it's still early.  i know you want to be with him, but things can change and going to the same school doesn't guarantee happiness.   i'm sure your school has plenty to offer you; you just have to look in the right places.  explore a little more, expand your horizons.  don't forget about your boyfriend, of course, but see if you can keep your mind on other things. it's entirely possible that your school isn't right for you.  but you need to give it a fair chance.
