So, I am currently a freshman at a DePaul University in Chicago and I’m absolutely hating it. I’m originally from Minnesota (7 hours from Chicago) & I’m finding it is close to impossible to get home for a visit. This is not what I thought college would be like at all. It isn’t the stereotypical college experience you see in the movies. I have made no true contacts here in the 3 months that I have been living here. I have recently applied to the University of Minnesota as a transfer student for their spring semester. This means I would leave Chicago in a little over two weeks after finals and I wouldn’t be back.
I have an extremely loving boyfriend who is still at home in Minnesota who is now working full time. Me moving to Chicago has been very obviously difficult for him. I can hear the sadness in his voice whenever I talk to him and it’s killing me not being able to be there for him. I’m also afraid that he’s gotten back into doing some bad things since I’ve left.

So, basically my question is: is it wrong to consider my boyfriends wellbeing as well as mine when trying to decide if I should transfer back home?
