How do I get excited for college next year?
I am an incoming freshman at a smaller university in New England, halfway across the country from where I live. When I was able to visit a couple months ago I loved the school but recently I have been feeling un-excited about going to go to school there. I've been seeing a lot on social media about my almost school(Mizzou), which is the complete opposite of this school. It's been making me feel like I made the wrong decision in choosing what school I am going to and I've been trying to get myself to change this feeling but haven't been able to. There isn't a lot online about my school, and what is there is promotional videos, or TikTok's of people hating on it. Additionally, I have found it impossible to connect with other incoming freshman at this school and the entire enrollment process this far has been really bad for me. Are there any ways to make myself feel excited about the school I chose, because right now all I want to do is transfer.

Hi, I'm a high school senior who is going to Michigan Tech to pursue a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. From anyone who is in the field, what would be some classes you would suggest for the first year? also #Spring25
I haven't chosen any classes yet and would like to know what to pick beforehand.
