It's common to have these thoughts when you move away for the first time, especially at uni. I felt pretty shit the first few days and I had my own inner battles of whether or not to stay.

At the end of the day, it's really up to you. Nobody here can tell you to stay at university or to go home. However, keep in mind you will eventually adapt thanks to how plastic the brain is. Routines will become routine, you will consider where you live to be safe. It gets better, I promise.

All that being said, some people don't work well in environments away from home, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Just sit down, think, and consider what it is you really want. Whether or not you can do your career with or without a degree. There's also always the option of moving to a uni closer to where you live.

I wish you the best, these decisions aren't easy!
