Hey all! I’m a uk student, I live with my family still and commute to university. I started university in 2016 and decided to do a placement year in USA 2018-2019 (best year of my life) but when I came back to studying in 2019, I was told I had to repeat a few modules from my second year before I can move onto my final year. Only myself and the university know about this as everyone else thinks I’m in my 4th/final year. I’m too afraid to tell them as my family already think of me as a disappointment plus my dad is often abusive and I don’t know how he would respond if I told him. But they keep asking about graduation etc.. Honestly I don’t want to go back to university as I haven’t had the best of times there plus this past year studying has really not been good for my mental health as I have felt so depressed this whole time and wasn’t really friends with anyone in my class and I just want to move back to America and start my life there working and living. Also my boyfriend who I met during my placement lives over there and we are doing long distance at the moment so I’m not sure whether that’s also a factor for me not wanting to go back to university.

Any ideas about what I could do would be much appreciated.
