I'm in a top tier private liberal arts college. The work looks daunting and I'll be fortunate to pull even C's (D's aren't out of the question). I'm wondering if I should switch back to an easier state college closer to home where I know I'll be able to make at least steady B's. What do you think? I don't want a bad transcript following me around if I decide to go to grad school. Should I switch while I can still leave with "Withdrawal" on my transcript? It would really suck to get halfway through the semester and realize I can't take it (I have panic disorder, the work is demanding, etc.), then have to leave with zeros. At the same time, I think I'd have to deal with some regret for forfeiting this opportunity for individual attention, great professors, serious students, and an intellectual atmosphere. Thanks for your advice.
