I took a drop and worked hard proved myself mg parents that i can do what I have dreamt of, I was excited when I finally got my dream college but.....it has been 2 months and honestly I was never really happy in the college or hostel though I'm grateful for it but I couldn't....and now I'm feeling like giving up because nothing seems right I'm tired, I dont feel like going to college or interested in doing things like extracurricular which I thought this things I'll doing in college, I have been crying and crying for these 2 months because I'm not able to live away from home and nothing seems right here to me I'm thinking of quitting this and taking a college in my hometown and stying with my parents and continue following the same thing but just with my parents by my side.

Im really confused what should I do am i doing the right thing?

Yaar, aaj Papa mere hostel surprise checking ke liye aaye. Mere room se cigarette ki smell aa rahi thi kyunki mere doston ne pi thi, but main khud cigarette nahi peeta.

Papa ne mujhe bahut sunaya, bola ki agar yahi sab karna hai toh padhai chhod de. Mummy aur bhai ko bhi ghar par sunna pada.

Papa ne mere dost ko call kiya, aur usne bhi confirm kiya ki cigarette usne pi thi, maine nahi. Phir bhi Papa ko mujh par trust nahi hai. Unhe lagta hai ki main bhi unke saath peeta hoon.

Bhai, sabse zyada hurt is baat ka hai ki sach bolne aur proof hone ke baad bhi Papa mujh par believe nahi kar rahe. Ab guilt, sadness aur gussa sab ek saath ho raha hai.

Kisi ke saath aisa hua hai? How do you deal with parents who don't trust you even when you're telling the truth?

I got into this college near my area and I always had this fear that I can't make new friends as I'm not very extroverted but somehow managed to make 3 friends but two of them bonded with each other very well on their first day whereas I met them on my second day.

So the thing is that the third girl and I sit together but she's kinda annoying like snatching away my phone while I'm using it or asking me so many questions like kya kr rhi hai kya dekh ri hai idk but this annoys me sm bcs idk.

The other two girls, they are nice talks nicely to me but the thing is that whenever there is a teacher in class they ignore us like I have to initiate a Convo with them and when we are free they just go to the other row and talk to those boys and completely ignore us like we never existed ( not saying that they shouldn't talk to those boys like Obv we have to bond well with everyone but still talk to us aswell na ? ).

I feel very lonely in college I don't have any good friends irl my bestfriend ( she's in another college ) ignore my msgs, my online bestie completely ghosted me, I'm not able to bond well with anyone but can't do much about it.

With YouTube lectures, notes and recorded classes available, I'm curious how much people actually gain from attending college every day.

I've been thinking about how expensive higher education has become in India.

Tuition fees are only one part of the cost. Students also have to manage hostel or PG rent, food, transportation, books, and other college expenses. For many families, paying for a degree can put a significant amount of financial pressure on the household.

What concerns me most is that students may have the ability and motivation to study but still struggle because of the cost.

I understand that colleges have operational expenses, but I think students deserve more transparency about fee increases, additional charges, and the financial support available to them.

I'm curious about other students' experiences:

• Have your college fees increased significantly in recent years?
• Do you think the education you're receiving is worth the amount you're paying?
• Have scholarships, fee concessions, or education loans helped you manage the cost?

I'd love to hear different perspectives, especially from students attending private colleges in India. Are you facing the same problem, or has your college made education affordable?

GJU declared our 4th-semester results today, and I got a reappear again. Honestly, it feels like the university just wants us to keep paying fees for another chance to pass.

I paid ₹1,200 for 2nd-semester revaluation but never got proper information about the result, then had to pay another ₹800 for the reappear.

Should I apply for revaluation again, or is it just a waste of money? Anyone who applied for GJU revaluation, did your marks actually change?

Hey everyone,

I recently joined a tier-3 engineering college and honestly, it’s not clicking at all. The peer group, campus culture, and overall environment feel suffocating. I haven't made any friends because I genuinely can't find anyone on my wavelength or vibe. Walking into a place every day where you feel completely alienated is taking a massive toll on my mental health, and I'm honestly starting to feel depressed.

The only real logistical upside is that the campus is barely 15 minutes from my home. The catch? They enforce a strict 75% attendance criteria.

I’m currently staring at 3 paths and can’t make up my mind:

• Option 1: Partial Drop (Prep while staying enrolled) Since commute time is essentially zero (15 mins away), I can show up strictly for the mandatory 75% attendance, sit in the back, and use every spare minute, evening, and weekend to prep for next year's entrance exams (JEE / CETs). Risk: Balancing strict college attendance and semester exams with entrance prep while already feeling mentally drained could lead to severe burnout.
• Option 2: Full Drop (Drop out now to prep full-time) Pull out of college completely, remove the daily mental drain of going to a campus I hate, and prep full-time from home or a library. Risk: The pressure of a gap year, dealing with family expectations, and the isolation of studying solo with no safety net if the next attempt doesn't pan out.
• Option 3: Stay put, disconnect emotionally, and grind skills solo Treat college strictly as an 8-to-3 job to get a degree. Stop looking for a vibe or community on campus, maintain a safe 7.5–8+ CGPA, and use the fact that I don't waste hours in traffic to focus entirely on self-learning (DSA, dev, building projects, off-campus prep). Find friends/community outside college instead. Risk: Spending the next 3.5 years in an environment I actively dislike, plus facing the brutal off-campus recruitment market from a tier-3 college.

Help me guys, this is taking a mental toll on me and I really need a solid advise :(
