I think I made a bad decision - transferred colleges but kind of want to go back to my old one…

First off I can’t believe I am feeling this. I completed my freshman year at a little private college that I (at the time) hated very much, so I transferred to a large state school. Now that I am into the second semester here, I realize how much I miss and actually liked my old college. The only reason I transferred was due to the dorms (have to live in all 4 yrs). I am now in an apt. which is great. If it wasn’t for my current roommates I would probably transfer back. My current roommates are friends from home so I would feel terrible ‘ditching’ them, etc.

I have realized that I am an idiot and left a lot of really good friends at my old college. Also, it was so small that I now realize how nice it is to walk 2 minutes to class, recognize everyone, profs know me by name, etc. I am still in contact with my friends there and my ‘ex’roommate was wondering if I was coming back (we became really good friends).

I just can’t stop feeling like ‘Why why why didn’t I just stick it out for one more semester’ because I should have stayed. I know deep down that I’m not going anywhere but I just feel so dumb.
I don’t know what kind of answers I am supposed to get, but I just really needed to tell someone. I’m too embarrassed to tell my parents. Thanks.

Life is about making choices and learning from the results.

It’s ok to make mistakes. If everyone were perfect, the world would be a very boring place.

It’s ok to admit to your friends and family that you made a mistake transferring colleges. If they really care about you, then you will be met with understanding and positive suggestions.

Perhaps you could talk to the Dean at your old university and ask how easy it would be to go back.
