financial aid & leaving school
i just started college & i'm hating it already. i know it's too early to tell so i'm gonna wait a while but.... if i decided that i didn't want to return in the spring then i wouldn't have wasted any money right? like you pay per semester, but would there be a fee for leaving the university?

You mention financial aid in the title of your question... do you have student loans?
Very often, if you drop out of school or fail out before graduation, you'll have to pay back the loans in full immediately, or you have to start making payments.
You don't have to pay to leave the university, though.
My advice is to stick it out for a bit. If you don't like the classes, consider switching programs. If you don't like the people, I'm sure there are plenty of other decent folks kicking around! It is strange and unfamiliar, but once you're in with the right crowd you'll have a great time.

First, every college has a policy in how much you get back when you drop out, based on how long you've been there. At this point you could probably get most of your money back. It's probably in the catalogue. I'm not going to lie to you.
Second, it is too early. At this point, everything, 100% of your whole life is new! That's a huge transition for everyone. You are surrounded by strangers, in strange place, everything you do, from how and where to what you eat, to where you go to the bathroom, is all new.That's a lot of change.
Give yourself a chance to get adjusted to the changes. Break down what it is you hate - college classes? your roommate? the food? the people? Try and make friends - that can make a huge difference.
