Is it a good idea? Please Help!?

Right now I am in college. This is my first year and classes started two days ago. Right now I'm thinking I made the wrong choice coming here. I wish I would have gone to community college for a couple semester first. I just feel like I'm not ready. I felt like I wasn't ready long before I moved here so I'm pretty sure I'm just not homesick. I just don't feel like I'm emotionally ready to be away from home yet. I am thinking about dropping out of college here going to community college for a semester or two. Then I will either transfer back here or to another university which is closer to my home. What do you think I should do? Also, does anybody know what will happen if I drop out of college when most of it was paid for by financial aid? I can still drop or add classes and be refunded, but does that work for financial aid or just if you pay yourself? I am going to my financial aid counselor tomorrow to make sure but I just wanted to see what you thought?

    Breath Deeply, and RELAX!! It is perfectly common to be anxious during the first year of classes. There are several financial penalty's involved when you do not complete a semester/year. The best advice is to finish off the year, and then make the choice if you want to transfer back. This will allow you to maintain your financial aid, and give you time to adjust to the college lifestyle. If you want to move sooner, apply to colleges closer to home for the Spring semester. Consider changing your major to fit your interest. In the meantime, talk to a school councilor, get involved and have fun! Trust I've been there and done that.
