<p>Hi, I'm 17 and I'll be a university freshman next year. I'm a biology major and I have narrowed my choices down to USF(University of San Francisco), UC Santa Cruz & UC Santa Barbara. (I also got into uc irvine but I prefer UCSB). One big problem I have is I'm extremely close to my family and I battle an anxiety disorder. My anxiety disorder's emphasis is on separation anxiety. I'm extremely worried about my parents all the time and it's worse when I'm away from them. The problem is, my FAVORITE school is UC Santa Barbara. The problem is, it's 5 & a half hours away from where I live and I'm not sure i can handle being that far, especially since I have separation anxiety. USF & UCSC are more convenient, but UCSB is a better school. I'm scared though that if I pick UCSB, I'll have to drop out halfway because I don't think I can handle the distance from home & being away from my parents. What should I do?
