Should I drop out of uni?
I'm in my third year of a degree in law with French law so I'm on the year abroad and finding extremely difficult due to my level of French which I estimated and was told by previous teachers that it was much higher than it was. There's French classes offered by the uni but I'm finding it extremely difficult to get any information on them, I sat an assessment nearly two weeks to determine my current level and was told I would find out what class I would be in the following Monday but then received no communication about it and had my attempts at communication ignored. Similarly, whenever I try to ask anyone at the uni for help they either respond dismissively or are openly rude. I'm sure part of that is me struggling to make myself understood in French but there's not really any way around that. I'm considering dropping out of my year abroad, either through telling them I want to drop out or just through not attending the classes anymore and am half considering dropping out of uni altogether. I got pretty good grades at my home uni but never enjoyed it and my mental and physical health have both been gradually worsening since I was probably about 16 (I'm 21 now). Should I just drop out? the only thing preventing that is that I don't know what I would do if I did drop out and I don't want to have wasted my chance to get an Oxford law degree and just end up stuck working in a shop my whole life.

Have you thought about reaching out to a student support service or mental health counselor? Many universities offer these services, and they can provide guidance tailored to your situation.
Thought about it but unfortunately don't think it would be very useful in my situation as they tend to give the type of advice you can find online and applying self help advice hasn't really done much for me

Try anyway. Also contact your home institution and tell them you're struggling - they will probably be a lot more receptive to listening to you than the French university.
Edit: saw your other thread... you've barely just begun! Put in more effort before calling it quits!

Dont drop out of uni completely - you will regret it. Its ok to admit the year out is not working out for you. Contact your home uni and explain your situation to them. They are responsible since they found the placement for you. It may be too late to find another placement at another uni though.
