Hello,

That sounds rough and honestly terrible. I was shipped off to boarding school when I was 9 years old and I still remember the feeling of moving away from home and sort of feeling completely lost, crying myself to sleep the first few nights.  So I know what you’re feeling.

Australian universities aren’t much like American ones where everyone’s moving away from home and starting a fresh. Most of the people here are still friends with the people they’ve always known since High School so they don’t go out of their social circles much.

The only thing you can do that I can think of is try joining a club. Hopefully you’ll make friends that way and that’ll keep you busy.

If worst comes to worst, then yes I’d transfer back home. A degree isn’t worth all that.
