In my experience moving away from home to somewhere out of state is pretty daunting. I can sympathize with missing friends and family but you may find that the friends you make wherever you go may be better than the ones you left and your family is always going to be your family, they're not going to go anywhere.

As for school I would take a long look at what you want to do in your future (1 year, 5, 10+?) and evaluate whether what you're doing right now will fit into your plans. Sometimes its worth it to stop your degree and reevaluate your goals because some people get trapped in the idea of sunk costs. Just because you've invested x dollars and x time doesn't always mean its something worth finishing. Additionally, if you're worried about student debt you can always consider going out of country to finish your degree because international tuitions plus the cost of living abroad are often cheaper than stateside equivalents. Of course I would recommend somewhere in Canada because it is so similar to the States culturally and if you want to finish out your French degree there are plenty of Francophone and Anglophone mixed cities like Montreal.

Just something to consider..

THIS! Everything this person above has said!

I think this is all solid advice!

One other consideration though is that financial aid is often restricted by citizenship. For most US citizens, the cheapest option would be to move to a state with cheap in-state tuition rates (like some of the Western states), establish residency, and then enroll. Contingent upon the dependency status of the student, Pell grants might even be available to entirely cover the cost of tuition.

However, state residency usually takes a year to establish, so people who are looking to attend higher education immediately may often times have cheaper options abroad.

I'll echo what AxiomGrey said. It's solid advice, on all counts!

Additionally, if you are worried about career prospects after college, consider what would make you stand out as an applicant. It's undeniable that simply getting a degree does not guarantee a job. But meaningful extracurricular activities and/or internships, particularly those related to your career goals, can help you stand out and may sometimes be counted as work experience.

If you are considering emigrating, think about studying abroad to a country where you may like to immigrate. I studied in the UK in the spring of my junior year. Now, I'm graduating with my degree in May and moving to the UK in the fall, where I will be living for at least the next four years. But even if you end up staying in the US, employers look favorably upon study abroad. Someone who is adventuresome enough to leave home and go to another country is seen as a more independent thinker and a globally-aware citizen.
