State to a JC?
I got a full athletic scholarship to a State University.
I don't like it here! Its too small for meand the people are NOT my type. I've always wanted to go to a HUGE school. My cousin goes to a huge school and her coach takes such good care of her. Here, it seems I have to do EVERYTHING myself. Like registering for classes: Because the Athletic Director didn't get to my paperwork on time, I am on the waiting lists for 5/6 of my classes. I need those certain classes because of our practice schedule. AND the dorms are ridiculous. There's always a problem; heater doesn't work, A LOT of bugs, rusting shower, shower not hot,bed bugs, thin walls, so many! I'm not a spoiled brat, I just know people shouldn't live like this. When you tell the custodians they take about 3 days to get back to you and down play the situation and act like WE are overexaggertaing. It's sick
Also, I'm pretty sure they don't have my major here. I'm just not happy!
When I signed, they said I can transfer after two years. But, what if I want to go to a JC?
The JC I want to go to has one of the best coaches for my sport and girls who transfer get into REALLY good schools. Could I go to the JC then get into a better, different school?
AND sometimes I think about just quitting the sport because I can't give my full attention to school like I want to. UGH.

This sounds like you have your answer already - you're not happy with the academics, the campus life, or the sport. It's not worth your time and effort with the school you're at if you're not going to be happy. Even if you're on full scholarship.
People have a tendency to look down on JCs, but I know plenty of people who went for one or two years, transferred, and are thriving in their majors. It hasn't impeded them academically at all. If you take intro classes at the JC and then transfer, you'd be able to start your major coursework right away, and that's a big plus.
AND, it sounds like you'd be happier playing your sport there, with a good coach.
I say go for it.
Hope this helps!
