I regret my college, not my course

I’ve been using Reddit for almost a year now, but this is actually my first time posting anything, so sorry if this is messy.

I’m a psychology student and I genuinely love psychology. Choosing this course was completely my decision and I don’t regret the subject at all. But I seriously regret joining my college.

I’ve been trying to adjust there for the past 2 years but I still feel disconnected from everything — the environment, teachers, classmates, everything. I don’t feel like I belong there and I don’t even have anyone in college to share my feelings with. Going there every day feels emotionally exhausting.

The worst part is that I still have 2 years left. I’ve been thinking about quitting since first year but ignored my feelings thinking I would eventually adjust. Instead, my mental health has become worse and now I genuinely feel mentally exhausted and lost.

The problem is that I still care a lot about psychology and I don’t want to lose interest in something I genuinely love just because of my college experience. That’s why I’m confused whether discontinuing is the right decision or if I’m just overwhelmed.

I really need honest advice because I feel very stuck right now.
