For context, I’m a sophomore music student at one of the best colleges in my state. It was a big deal when I got in because it’s a really well known school that a lot of my family went to. I decided to go because it made sense: it was cheap enough, and it was a good school that would make my family proud. 
But I won’t graduate on time despite going into college with 25 credit hours and it’s 8 hours away from my hometown and my very serious boyfriend. He’s always been really supportive of my school even though it bothers him that I’m so far away. But I got worse and worse and now here I am: I just got diagnosed with bipolar, I’m failing a class and I’m close to failing another (If I do, it’ll set me back another year). finals are coming up, and I cannot imagine how I can do this another semester, much less two more years. I am barely. holding. on. Music school has been so hard. I cry after every private lesson I have because my teacher is so harsh. One lesson was so bad it triggered my first psychotic episode, which was what led to my diagnosis. So here’s the question: Should I transfer to a WAY less prestigious university that’s close to home, disappointing my family and ruining the opportunity I have by going to the big prestigious school? I don’t know if it would help me get better, and it actually might make me worse. I’m just desperate for anything to work because this was never how I wanted my life to be. I would be disappointed in myself if I did, but should I transfer?
