What are some ways of relieving the doubt and isolation in college?

I'm currently a third-year public health major at a fairly prestigious school. I came in as a comp sci major, then switched to chemistry my sophomore year, then switched to public health at the beginning of this year. Looking back I don't know if my switching majors at the end of freshman year was due to depression. I felt like I was not smart enough or hardworking enough. I felt isolated, and I was not used to taking initiative. Maybe I was just too lazy.





I'm beginning to wonder if the $30,000 tuition (in-state too) is worth it, when I could be going to a college close to home for $5000. I feel like I'm not getting enough out of my education (not only grade-wise). I wonder why I didn't transfer after failing all my spring frosh classes. I don't know if it's that I'm just in a funk, or if it's the fact that I'm not passionate about college. I've begun to turn to music to try to inject some happiness into my life, but it's not working, since I neglect my schoolwork then I feel guilty.What are some ways of relieving the doubt and isolation in college?
This sounds like 3rd year blues. Only you can decide. But you're mostly through it, so you may want to consider just biting the bullet and getting through. To remove doubt, seek certainty. To combat isolation, reach out.What are some ways of relieving the doubt and isolation in college?
Ouch! There's certainly a disconnection between you and this school. If you're not learning at this level, can you figure out why not? Is it because you're not preparing for class, or because the teaching styles don't match your learning styles? How about the lateral learning (from your classmates) -- do you discuss your classwork with classmates and people who had the class last year, or is *everyone* in little shells of desperation?





I hope the questions help -- only you have the answers. Is it worth a year of your life to transfer elsewhere, or is it better to do as the first poster suggested?
