Today, even though I went back to uni and studied a different course, I regret it. It was wasted time and money. You're better off soldiering through and finishing it.
Yes, frequently, uni is a hard place to be with bad mental health. However have decided not to as I need he structure and routine that uni gives and am not sure what I would do if I did drop out

I dropped out in order to change courses too but I don't regret it. The process was a pain and I wished I went with my gut instinct initially but I see it as a life lesson now.
Largely due to my mum falling seriously ill and the commute but it was almost a blessing in disguise, I was struggling pretty bad and was already in a 'I'll be in over the holidays' situation for my graded unit and the like, crap circumstances as it was it felt so liberating just to eject that whole routine and stress from my life for a while, it was too much. Need to make decision by Friday if I want to finish it this year coming and still on the fence.
(Commute was a serious killer, Glasgow - Edinburgh, so was up at 5am and home about 8/9pm, put me at a serious disadvantage to Edinburgh students )
I think about it every day but know it can never happen because of my Pakistani parents. I'm either going to have to try and soldier through another 3/4 years or keep going until I fail.
Dropped out after a month when I was 18, no regrets. Went back at 23, stayed through to PhD level. No regrets at all.
What made you drop out when you were 18? What was different the second time round and what did you do in the 5 year gap you had between uni? Sorry for bombarding you with questions I'm just really interested.
I dropped out of my first degree during Honours year after six months of medical leave due to mental health issues. Still left with an ordinary degree. Do not regret the decision.
Every few months I consider if I should leave my current degree... I fight through it.
