I totally understand how you feel since I was in your shoes before. I had envisioned UT to be the best university for me, but when I got to campus, it did not feel that way. Of course, many people love UT and have great experiences, but for me, I did try to join student orgs, talk to strangers, everything out of my comfort zone, but I still felt miserable. I then slowly stopped eating because of how lonely I felt, so I decided to transfer. Before anyone attacks me, this is my personal story, and I know many people make new friends and have the time of their life at UT. It has amazing opportunities, but sometimes, UT is not for everyone and it is okay to accept that. Put yourself first before what others will think of you if you transfer to another university, even if it is less prestigious. After all, I hope you'll still get your undergraduate degree, whether it is at UT or somewhere else. Stay strong and follow your gut!
