Transfer or stay?

College Running D1

3 years ago 12/11/2020 9:43pm EST

I’m almost done with my first semester of college and am on a pretty good team.

I get along well with the coach and most of my team, but so far have had a really bad experience with the school. I don’t really like the administration, most of my professors (which I know change each semester), the campus life, and it is a little more expensive than I could be paying elsewhere.

I know some of these issues are due to COVID so should wait another semester to see how things go or take next semester off and come back to another school in the fall?

Stay there and wait it out. A good team is hard to come by, be a good student and you'll never have to interact with administration, and toughen up about the profs. Every place has good ones and bad ones.

I would say to stay for a little longer. I had a really rough freshman year. came in injured and couldn't stay healthy, felt disconnected from my team, etc. just finished fall of my sophomore year, trained like hell, and did everything I could to stay healthy this summer. Had a pretty good fall and reinforced that this is the school I want to be at. Because I've been injured, will still be a freshman for a while due to covid getting eligibility back. Freshman year can be extremely hard, you can learn to deal with the school, but if you leave a team you like you may never get it back.

The professors teaching the Freshman-level courses probably aren't the cream-o-the-crop. If you catch my drift

During this time of Covid-19 it's really kind of hard to get the full feel of a university if all you are doing are zoom classes. I don't think I would have liked my first year of college either if I was doing all online classes.

Just stay there and stick it out.
