I'm sad today because instead of moving to the place where two of my three best friends (and about 50% of my class; it was a small island school, so everybody knew each other pretty well) we ended up moving to a place where I half-know one person and am aware of the existence of another. This happened just before the beginning of the school year, and is still making me sad.

It's frustrating, because as it is I'm finding school pretty dull, and I don't really have much to do. If I had gone to the school where my classmates went, it's highly probable at least some of my classes would've had people I knew in them.

Of course, the city that the school I would've gone to isn't that great.

I don't do caffeine :I

Also, no peers to read the minds of near me in a 1 km radius.

Well there's your problem. I thought everybody who did programming was, like, 40% caffeine anyway?

40% caffeine is entry-level stuff

alway is well on the way to replacing all of the water in their organism with caffeine and that's when they can pick up fortran 77 and work for boeing and shit

So even if I get into a university I might not be able to pay the backbreaking tuition. I feel very stressed and depressed :/

edit: how the hell do people pay $50000 per year to go to college in the us wth

Two ways. The primary way is called "crippling student debt", which they pay for... probably the remainder of the lives, honestly.

The second way is not going to the buggeroff expensive colleges. It's in-state (so much better price), but tuition/books for where I'm at right now has been like maybe 5-6k for a year. Would be more a bit more expensive for higher level courses and that, of course, isn't including cost of living stuff, but... if you're paying 50k a year, you're probably going to one of those pointlessly high end ones you don't actually need to go to to get a degree and/or work.

The remaining ways, at least for the buggeroff expensive colleges, is scholarships (somewhat) and rich parents, more or less, unless you're somehow already fairly well off (and in that case, why the bloody hell are you going to a 50k/year school? You should know better by now.).

E: Though it's been a while since I was aware of just what the cost for out-of-state/non-US-citizen tuition is, beyond "usually hellishly more expensive". Colleges tend to fleece out of staters like goddamn. Even worse than they do in-state folks.
E2: Ooh, checked. Yeah, I'm at a fairly affordable one and non-resident tuition ranges from 3.7 to 5 point somethingthree times that of resident tuition. Think there's exchange program stuff you can occasionally work through to reduce costs, but... yeah, if you're coming from somewhere else it gets hellishly expensive. Finding a way to avoid that is... usually a good idea. If it's possible.

You pay 5-6k a year for state colleges. I have to pay 30-60k a year for the same classes and college. :(
Further searches indicate I probably would pay only 2~4 times as much. Still quite expensive.

Yeah, edits caught that. I'm honestly not quite sure how exchange program folks and whatnot manage it, exactly. I know there's potentially financial-related stuff beyond incredible debt available to them, but, well, I've never exactly had reason to hunt it up...

I guess ideally you'd actually move over here and gain residency before enrolling, to defray costs, but that's some hella' hoops to jump through and is quite likely not the most viable solution in the world.

E: ... mostly, though, what you're feeling is pretty normal for folks looking into university learnin', especially if they want/have to go out of state. So... you're among a great deal of company, Sky, for what that's worth. And a lot of people end up managing it, so... look around when you're feeling better. Find out how they're doing it. Therein lies an answer, if possibly not a particularly good one.
