[quote=Anonymous]Hang in there, OP.  It is hard to see your child unhappy.  
Our daughter wanted to leave her college before school even started.  High anxiety, medication  change, homesick (also 4 hours away), anxious roommate, and a really big school which immediately didn't seem like a good fit.  
She stuck it out with lots of supports (therapist, psychiatrist, etc.).  Tried clubs including a club sport.  Met people, made some friends but never really felt comfortable there.
She was always serious about classes and did very well.  In the spring semester, she applied to transfer after visiting schools she had not applied to senior year.  Visited and she is now elsewhere and much happier.
I left my college mid-way through my 4th semester a million years ago (plane flight away).  I went home with mono and never went back.  I got a job, took classes at a community college and transferred to another school.  Really good experience.  Graduated a couple of years later and still close to those college friends.[/quote]
