Should I go back home and leave college?
I'm an international freshman student in a US university. I'm 8 weeks into my first semester and I am starting to really doubt whether college is right for me. Normally I'm a good student, but that was back home in high school, and our high school followed a system where the only thing that mattered is the final exam (you can mess around all year and no one bats and eye, as long as you do well during your finals, which is exactly what i did). So this whole GPA and everything-counts-towards-your-grade approach is killing me. Also, i had recurring episodes of extreme homesickness, and I mean homesickness. I miss my friends and family ALOT, and I've only managed to make a few friends here. It has been affecting my studying deeply; I just can't study without getting depressed thinking about home. My parents paid alot of money so I can go to this university, but my recent poor performance has made me think that I'm just wasting their money and their efforts to get me here. This has been irking me for a while, and it had made my relationship with my parents worse, as if I'm almost ashamed or scared to talk to them. The real problem is that when I finally opened up, the constantly tell me to not worry about the money or about the less-than-stellar grades. i tried believing them but every time I think about it, it depresses me. My relationship with them hit a low point when they called me a few times today (20 to be exact, and a shitload of Whatsapp messages) and I completely ignored them. I don't why I did, maybe it was depression or fear or just apathy. They were extremely worried like I've never seen before; they somehow reached a friend of mine and he came over and made me realize that I was being a ********. I called my parents finally; both of them were crying, distraught with worry. It was the first time i ever heard my Dad crying. This entire thing made me realize: If I can't be here and do what I'm supposed to (get great grades and come back with a stellar degree), why bother, especially with the horrendous amount of money we're paying? If I'm gonna be depressed everyday just thinking about home, why should I trouble myself and my worried parents? So, should I go back, or stick it out? If you read all of this, thank you very very much for your time. :)
How to never go back home after u leave for college?
If you live on campus (not including in a sorority house), the dorms usually close for holiday breaks, summers, etc. So either live off campus or in a sorority house, or make arrangements for somewhere to stay when school is not in session. Unless you have a *lot* of money saved up, you'll probably need a job to pay for expenses. However, you may be eligible for student loans - and possibly supplemental loans - to pay for your college tuition, books, and other expenses, to reduce the amount you have to earn at a job in order to support yourself during college. Naturally, you'll also need to line up a job quickly once you graduate, unless you can manage to continue to live on the salary from whatever part-time job you have during school.
What is it like to leave home and go for undergrad college?
Well, this may well be your first opportunity to experience the world at first hand. Many illusions would be broken. Many things that we take for granted like demanding mother for many house chores, asking for special dishes, sweets, support of father whenever we do something wrong and more than all, the safety and happy home would be missed.Having said that, you start living on your own. You'll learn more about yourself, as there is no fall back option. You'll start judging friends and make some friends and enemies. With time, you realise how wrong you were in some cases. The world out there is good and bad both. It depends on how we react and control it by controlling ourselves.Any change is a bit traumatic for all, unless one is a mechanised robot void of emotions. But, time is a great healer. Worrying about family won't do any good. Take it as an essential part of your life. When you visit home, share your experiences with family. Have nice time.
I really want to go back home from college. What should i do?
(Unless you have a lot of money to sit and eat your entire life, or you have an extreme passion ,which you want to follow leaving this college ) Then Please don't call yourself a dropout and spoil the names of people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.You would have come to this college only because this is better than whatever course you want to join near your home. Only you know about your problems and situations fully and Only you can take decision. All i can tell you is that DONT GIVE UP just because its difficult. If its something else you want to do then it is completely a different topic. If there is no such reason like that and you want to leave just because its difficult and you cant handle,Go to Redbus .in Book your tickets immediately, Since three days holidays are coming along with Aug 15th, you may not get tickets to reach you home town. Pack all your luggages and run away. No need to worry about your parents who wanted your career to shine well.
Is it normal that I cry everytime I leave home to go back to college?
I'm a college sophomore but everytime I leave after a break I still get really depressed and homesick and cry a lot.... I go to school 10 hours travel from home. Leaving tomorrow and can't stop crying. It doesn't help that I have to go back 2 weeks earlier than everyone so I'll just be alone in my apartment with nobody to talk to for 16 days....
Should i take a leave of absence in college?
I went to college before and withdrew b/c it was too much $ and 1500 miles from home. Now I'm back in school again, but I've been sick for a month now with back to back viruses and flu and such and I've missed a lot of class time. I'm so behind on work and if I miss another day I fail the course completely. I'm not even sure what I want to do with my life, so picking my classes is difficult and I chose the wrong ones. Should I just take a leave of absence for a semester go to the doctors and figure out what I want to do? Or suck it up and deal with it?
Should I leave my college and go back home due to hostel problems?
Really?? Are you so weak??? How can you even think of running away?Anyways, I would give you two suggestions and see if that works for you:running away from problems is not a solution. Today you have hostel problems and you want to go back to your home and what if tomorrow there is another set of problems at your home then what you will you do? Where will you go and hide yourself? What if you always face problems? So, I would suggest that think of a solution and figure out how will you fix it.get another room in the hostel or find a pg or a flat mate and shift there.Don’t run away from bad situations. I understand it’s easy to say but difficult to think of any solutions in that situation but then running away is also not an ideal way of fixing it, right!! So, Be a problem solver always not a problem creator.

At college and I just want to go home?
It's only my 4th day of college and I just want to go back home. I miss my family and my pets. I've met some people but I'm not good friends with anybody yet. A lot of people already have friends and it's hard to get into their "groups." I'm kind of shy and have trouble making real friends; I have a lot of acquaintances but don't really get close to people. Me and my roommate get along alright, but we're really different people. I get the feeling she doesn't like me, and although we're both nice to each other we barely talk. All I want to do is go see my mom. The college is only 45 minutes from my house, so pretty close, but just far away enough that I can't commute (and I don't have a car anyway). I'm going to come home on weekends, but that worries me too because I'm scared that will make it worse and I won't want to go back. I'm really considering transferring to community college. But I'm worried I'll regret it. This was my first choice school and I like it, but I don't know... I'm just really homesick I guess. The other problem is that I don't really know what I want to do career wise. I'm in college for the wrong reasons - my parents forced me to, it might help me get a job, and I didn't have anything better to do. So I feel like I shouldn't be here without knowing what I'm here for. All I keep thinking is that I just want to go home and never leave and skip all of this college stuff. What should I do?
Should I go away to college and leave my boyfriend behind?
Yes, I have lots of advice for you. 1. You need to look at this as two different questions entirely. Do I really want to leave home because of my parents? Is my relationship with my boyfriend worth staying? 2. I don't mean to sound rude, but it almost sounds like you are leaving home for the wrong reasons. I absolutely DO relate. I completely know how you feel. trust me. I felt the same way, but then I realized that 1. you will be in the dorms at least the first year, 2. your relationship with your family, the only people who will ALWAYS be there for you is very important 3. If you leave for those reasons ONLY, you WILLLLL regret it for SO many other reasons. 3. More directed to your original question: Now you need to do some really tough thinking. I know at this moment he might seem like the world. But you need to think: is this the man you are REALLY in LOVE with???? do you question whether you will find somebody better, or is he your safety man? now these are private questions you need to think about alone. I don't mean to sound rude about them, but if you seek true love, don't just stay because this guy is really great and nice and always there for you, you have to be iN LOVE WITH Him to alter your wholee future for him. I mean 4. If you guys are REALLY love him, you both will keep your love strong even if you guys are long distance. You have to think about yourself because if for whatever reason, your relationship didn't work out, you don't want to think...oh gee...I really messed up... what now..? Its hard to face this possibility but it is true. Imagine if you went away (for the right reasons), and then returned and he was waiting for you! You would know how true your love was. If he didn't stay faithful, well then you would be glad because you would find somebody better in the future who loved you more. Hope this all makes sense and I truly hope this helps you at least a little. Good luck :) You guys sound like you really are a great couple. What are his plans though..?
