Right now i'm a freshmen at SRU, and although i've only been here for a few weeks I'm already looking for somewhere to transfer next year.

The campus, recorces, and classes are all as good as i was expecting, but the student body is far below what i was expecting. People all seem to be the same; same styles, personalities, backgrounds, etc. No one seems to stand out, and to me it seems like I'm the only one who isn't a clone. I'm also having trouble making friends, becuase people see me as a bit of a freak with my studed belts, leather jacket, and screamo music. Everyone is friends with people who look, talk, and act exactly like them. SRU doean't fit into the college norm of having people of all kinds (goths, nerds, jocks, etc) at all. It also empties out on the weekends, which adds to the lonely feeling.

The average student is also very stupid. My classes aren't hard, but a lot of the people in them are struggling. It's like they only came to SRU because it was cheap and they take whomever applies. Even as an honors student, i find many of the other honors students about as "honors" material as everyone else. The only difference is that they applied.

I can't wait till next year to get out of here and away from all these people. I can't stand much more of the stupidity, "small town" mindset (ie.,ignorance), and genericness of the student body.

If you're thinking about it, answer these questions to see it it's for you:

1. I dress preppy or like i'm going to a gym every day

2. I only become friends with people who are just like me, and I don't like people who are different

3. I go home every weekend even if it's just because

4. I have a low GPA and no other college will take me

5. it's cheap and i'm not getting any scholarships any time soon

If this is you, congrats! you can take my place. I'm off to where there's a diversity of people, and they actually gasp don't care if their friends are exactly like them.
