Hey,

This is a follow-up to a thread I posted here a few months ago about me being miserable in my current college situation. If you need to know the situation, the thread is here.

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=111726

Anyways, there is a possibility I could be graduating early with my degree in December of this year, due to high school concurrent classes and summer classes I plan to take this year. I have made plans already after graduation to move out of this hick town immediately, to Texas where I will get an apartment with my one close friend who lives there.

However, being that I go to a small school in a small town, there is a chance I could not get the classes I need due to not enough demand for them, which would hold me over an extra semester of two. In that case, I might consider some alternatives. However, like i mentioned in my other thread, that would require I disown my parents and give up my full paid scholarship.

If I don't graduate early, I do have the option of moving to Texas anyways and transferring to UT and finishing my degree there. As unhappy as I am in my current situation, that sounds like an attractive option. Question is, would it be a wise move? Or should I just stick it out here until I can finish my degree on my scholarship?

If I was to transfer, how would I finance it? UT is a real University and is therefore much more expensive than the community college level school I'm attending now. I would also be living off campus in an apartment with my friend who attends nearby St. Edward's University (no way could I go there).

Thanks for any replies.
