Get a degree. It doesn't matter in what--pick something you enjoy. That is all that matters unless you want to clean dishes the rest of your life. And if you think it sucks now, imagine what it'll be like when you have no chance of a future.

I mean seriously. A college degree, on time, is four years long. That's it. You endured highschool, why can't you put up with college?

As for the environment: find ways to adapt. Either change your expectations for how people should act, or change who you associate with. If you can't do the second, tough it up for 2.5 years. You don't have it worse then anyone else. It's not that bad. At least you don't have to worry about being shot, raped, or stabbed every day, or HIV outbreaks, or poverty, or ...

first of all i was to say ignore Matthew and the others that are telling you to quit.

I went through something just like this.
basic the people in the dorm and the work load pluss the lack of funds and presure of no having the option to retake class because i was not a U.S. sit. pluss some other crap

I felt like killing the dorm people in the night, like something out of a horror movie.

It felt like everyone was targeting me because i was almost finshed.

Baisicly i just hung in and kept a low profile.

Wow that's harsh. So I have no chance of a future? I'll try not to get upset here...

If your adult career (including college) starts at 18 and you retire at 60 this gives you 42 years to screw with. 4 years, after rounding, is 10%. However college is typically 5 years ^[1] so the real number is 12%.

People have varying amounts of ambition. For me, spending 12% of my career life on something of little to no perceived value is unacceptable. I would much rather spend that 12% studying something useful. This could mean anything from being a janitor in a building full of people I want to emulate to studying the startup of companies I want to emulate to working alongside people I want to emulate or even just watching companies start and reading them in newspapers and on their blogs. All of these things provide incredibly more value than a college could hope to do -- what's more they generally wont have a cost over 1% of your adult career.

Yeah, I don't really know the difference. I just went with what bam described. I don't really know what it's called in English. You might call it a polytechnic school, an institute of technology, or anything like that. In any case, they teach practical application (like coding) more than theory and stuff like that.

Probably not, but it is a lot healthier than not quitting.

I didn't even know it was different in the USA. Wikipedia gives a general sense of my understanding of the word. Even then, I learned a bunch from reading the section on Canada (and the USA's section as well). In general, I consider a university to be a post-secondary school where you write papers and do research; whereas a college is a post-secondary school where you learn practical knowledge and apply it.

Consider the following two (worst case?) situations:
-You have left university, but now it seems those couple of months and the ensuing diploma would have given you some sort advantage/chance you can never hope to get again.
-You stayed in university, got your life drained, and apparently missed out some essential rest/boundless ocean of possibilities.

Which one seems worse?

My humble experience with people you can't live with is: don't try to live with them. Confront them, call their bluffs. Confidently point out how they 'poison' you. In most cases the situation changes for the better.
And yes, you can do it. Just like you don't really have to stab somebody in the eye etc. You know you are stronger than that. You maybe got lured into believing keeping the order was best, but... wait am I just projecting my life onto yours

This. I'm doing exactly that and guess how long its going to take me to navigate that 4 years of school? Always choose the path that leaves you the MOST options. Working 40+ hours a week and going to class every day will wear your soul down 100X faster then dealing with some idiots for another six months. Take it from a guy who knows. Drink a beer, suck it up and do what ya gotta do.

Quit looking to others for validation.

Can you defer your course for 6 months or a year and come back to it? Or does it 100% need to be done now? How much money have you invested in this endeavour? Can you justify losing that money and have nothing to show for it?

Follow Dorys advice.

Personally I would leave then, the only reason I am still studying at uni is that I have spent years and years getting here, and spent a moderate sum of money.

I assume you are young, get a shitty job and dedicate time to a hobby that you love, then try and work out how to make money from it in future.

However if you get a degree, then at least you have something in your pocket. It's like a driver's licence on your head. Think it through if you won't regret that those 2.5 years have gone to waste if you quit.

Moreover, try discussing this with some of your close friends or family.

I'm not telling you to stay with a degree you'll be unhappy with. I'm not saying where to get a degree either. I'm saying get a degree. Whether you're in for 4 years or 10 years, get a degree first.

This is the most important part. It rules out everything else. Everything else is just opinion and preference.

Nobody here can tell you what degree to take or what to do. You're the only one with the information to make that decision. Nobody can make it for you. Moreover, college isn't about validation. It doesn't matter if anyone else believes in you or tells you that you're great. You have to make the best decision for you regardless of what people around you around going to think and say.

I switched from Computer Science after a year to Mechanical Engineering. This was in my favor. But now, with three semesters left, I'm wondering if I'm more of a business man. I'm going to finish my degree and consider a Masters in Business Administration. Already having a Major means I can get a Masters degree in business (a completely separate field) in 13-months. Either way, I'm guaranteed a job making more than $40,000 a year. I make around $10,000 a year at my job. And if I really apply myself, it's going to be WAY more than $40,000 a year.

My friend, however, switched from Computer Science to IT because "it was too hard." He always loved to play around with photography and video though. Then, late in the game, he realized he wanted to do photography and IT was just sucking his blood. Well, he stayed the last three semesters, got his degree, and now he's miserable at his first job. But it supports him, and he's buying up video equipment left and right and making a name for himself. He and a friend are going to be doing a commercial for a new local bar/club. If he keeps pushing himself, he will no longer be stuck at his miserable job. He will make something of himself.

So what can be learned from those two case studies? First, that either getting a degree you hate, or setting yourself back and getting another, are both viable options. The first one allows you to work with a decent pay to provide funds for his new potential career. His pay rate doubled and work load got much easier. All for having that "useless piece of paper." Second, setting yourself back isn't the end of the world, and you may realize later than your second "miserable degree" can be used toward a more powerful one.

The most important thing to realize from these case studies is that no matter what happens, if you have a degree, you're better off. After that, to succeed, you're going to have to find your own path. No one else is going to know all of the options present to your success. You have to be proactive in finding your own solutions for your life.

If I have any guess, it's completely internal to him and he's thinking that the world should change instead of adapting himself to exploit the world.
