This university (and the city in general) is a depressing hellhole

No, seriously, this university is not the prestigious university it constantly claims to be, and I wish I just joined the one in my hometown (which is 12 kilometres from home)

I crossed 400 kilometres away from home to the capital city, a city where I have almost no relatives, thinking I would get some of the best education in this country... or so, I thought.

People in here? Not sociable and generally unfriendly (I assume the city i lived in and the capital city have very unmatched vibes). I'm fact, so unfriendly that I spend 11-12 hours a day on my phone as a coping mechanism.

Lecturers? Absolute egoistic clowns, though there are some exceptions (the majority of them are indeed clowns, though)

The worst part is that the tuition fees are insanely high when you look at the high-school-tier education they give you (arguably worse). The one back home was free, and the quality is literally the same between the two (+ some points for its proximity). Not only that, but the life expense in the capital is much, much more expensive over here. It is an economic nightmare.

I wish I had never folded to my parents' pressure and instead attended my local university, especially when i realise I had nothing to lose either way.
