Too Late?

I have recently become very depressed and realized that the root of this depression is the social culture at the college I’m currently attending. However, it is too late to transfer. Would it be bad to take a semester off (next fall) and try to do something productive and apply to colleges as a second semester sophomore? All I know is that I will be unhappy returning to my current school

I am in the same boat. I cannot decide if I should rough it out at my current school for the fall semester (so I am not behind), attempt to gain admission for Fall 2016 to other schools that I had previously been admitted to, or take a semester off. These three options would work well for you too.
