Sin and insanity is EVERYWHERE! Once you leave the Catholic Cacoon of your own home (or bedroom?). You can’t escape all you can do is limit your exposure, stay close to the Sacraments, Rosary, and scapular.

It doesn’t matter if your in college, working on a job site, or even own your own business, Satan will pop up to temp you and mislead you.

You don’t live on campus so go to class and get out. Steal the “pearls” that you need to achieve your goal and leave the junk behind. God will send good people your way, not everyone on campus is a snaggled toothed monster.

I’m a doctor who spent 4 years in undergrad, 4 years in doc education, and 2 years in post-doc training. Sure there is a lot of sin and temptation on a college campus but I see just as much at the hospitals I work in and clinics where I provide care.

As St Padre Pio says...PRAY, HOPE, and DONT WORRY!

OP here. Thanks for all the info. I’ve thought about my situation again with this new advice in mind. There is another factor I should mention to clarify things. As of now, I can’t drive by myself to this university since I’m not good at driving in highways, which make up the majority of the route to this school. This results in me having to be driven and getting picked up by my dad. Because of this, I spend way more time at the university than I should. I think this influences my attitude severely because I feel emasculated by this arrangement. It makes me feel “trapped” since I could easily leave earlier on some days or come in later on others due to my class schedule. This also prevents me from potentially getting a job/internship, since I would not be able to provide transport for myself to get to this place of work. Even a job on the campus grounds would be tough, since I probably would not have enough flexibility on my schedule for it.

I brought up my desire to start driving to this university by myself to my mom, who said that I would not be able to do so until this summer. Humanly speaking, I don’t think I can wait until sophomore year to start driving there by myself. Also, on considering the advice given by several posters here, I don’t really desire to be a teacher anymore. I didn’t know that Trad schools don’t require a degree. I may want to teach in one of those someday. Also, switching majors might cause me to lose my scholarship money, so that option not be worth it.

I think I’m going to withdraw after this semester. No point in me going to this place to blow my parents’ money studying for a job I don’t even want anymore. I’m going to look into getting a blue-collar job in the near future. I’m not too sure which one, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to whoever linked the Mike Rowe video by the way. However, I would also like to know about any good religious orders to
make enquiries about a vocation. Can anyone provide any info on traditional religious orders?

It's not 1950. You're not just going to walk in to some factory, shake a hand, and get yourself a nice blue-collar job just like that. Almost every job that doesn't require a degree or an apprenticeship these days is minimum wage. All those good blue-collar jobs in the past have either been automated or require some sort of apprenticeship/training now. It's a very, very bad and naive idea to withdraw before you have a plan in place for what comes after, other than "oh I'm sure I'll find a job somewhere".

And while a Trad school's requirements might be different to a normal school, they still aren't going to recruit some random unqualified guy off the street just because he's Catholic. Maybe you should research what sort of qualifications/experience/what have you that they do require.

Alright, I’ll look into that. I have the time to make a proper plan anyways.

Is your scholarship only related to teaching? No other degree?
.
Can you take some driving classes to get more comfortable? This is a necessary skill that you need ASAP. You might need it for your blue-collar job...which I don’t advise...not yet.
