<p>I would at least transfer directly to DePaul or UIC. DePaul is expensive if you don’t have financial aid and my daughter has a few past class mates at UIC and they hate it and wish they got into UIUC. It obviously is effecting your studies and your well being. Stick out the semester and if you feel any odd thoughts of severe depression no college is worth that but make sure you tried to find your tribe as one commenter put it but reading your posts I am worried as a parent for you that you are mentally checking out of UIUC. A direct transfer would be better than UIUC CC then another college but I don’t see an issue with you getting accepted to either college with any path you choose. There is also Loyola. </p>
