Friends are dropping out of college?
Hey, I started studying at a university this semester. So far, I think the program is pretty good, but you can only study it at one university/college in all of Germany, and the job prospects are pretty poor, as I've heard from students in higher semesters. Well, what's much worse for me is that of the only three contacts I had, all of them are already gone. One was exmatriculated because she failed her German exam (she's not from Germany), one somehow stopped coming, and the other joined another group. There are 45 of us, 43 of whom are female. Accordingly, we tend to form strong cliques, and now I'm the only one sitting alone.
I feel very uncomfortable there, and every morning I wonder if I really should take the hour-and-a-half train ride there, only to feel excluded. I'm seriously considering dropping out, but who knows if it's the same elsewhere…can someone give me some hope or something? :/ I'm generally a quiet person and find it difficult to really make friends…

You don’t go to uni to make acquaintances there. You go there ideally to form yourself, etc.
Do not make such a decision dependent on your need for belonging. This need can also be met outside the university. Contacts can also be found outside your own course. In my experience, the humanities are quite contacting dimples;)
Do you want to quit every job in the future, just because your favorite colleague changes? Or move when your favorite neighbour goes?
grow up and focus on what you want. Friends come and friends go, you have to be able to make up for yourself at any time.
If you really want to. And not because your friends do it. This justification is really meaningless.
You go to university to learn and not to find friends. You won’t find friends everywhere in life.
