I'm a student parent and really need some advice...

Long story short, I'm currently doing a degree and really unsure as to whether to continue. The place I'm studying is so far away from home and because of my situation in commuting I have no friends there (a few aquiatencies but no close friends). I don't like the place either which dosent help, but generally I just don't feel happy there at all and am very lonely. In terms of the course, I feel like I don't enjoy nor dislike it, I'm just kind of getting through it but the past year I have never felt so depressed.

The problem is that I don't know what else to do, if I dropped out id feel as though I've wasting time and effort in working hard to be at uni and I wouldn't be able to find a house as I have no job/ probably wouldn't get one that pays enough as I have little experience. I've not long got my results for my first year and I did well, but I just don't know if I can push through another 2 very unhappy years.

I don't have much family/friends in my home town but I do generally feel happier when I'm there and around the few friends I do have. Ive thought about transferring uni's but the ones in my area aren't good unis which is the only reason I moved so far.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just wondering what others would do in my situation. I'm absolutely Dreading going back but I don't want to make any rash desicions and I want the best for myself and my little one at the end of the day.

Thank you in advance! 💐

I'm a mature student parent, it might help if you give some context, course, distance, how many days, etc etc.
