Transfer or Adjustment Disorder
Got into a pretty low-stress non-accelerated bsmd in the heart of a big city and was super enthusiastic about being here, but the undergraduate experience of a largely urban, commuter campus has been really taking a toll on me, mentally. I thought I could nevertheless make my own fun here, but it has been very hard so far. It is getting to the point where I feel sad all the time and as if I traded fun college years in youth for security. Am I focusing on the wrong thing and just need to give the college time and a genuine chance, or did I make the wrong choice? I’m a first year, by the way. I understand I might get a ton of hate for this, but again, I’m not in the best place mentally. My passion still lies in medicine, and even through this sadness, I’ve stayed excited about that career choice.
