    I'd try as hard as you can to stay in college. Its the best place to be at the moment if at all possible.

    As regards what you lose, you may lose your 'free fee's' for the year in question. Your entitled to 4 years free fee's (Or however long your course is) but if you drop out, you lose that year. So if you drop out in first year, your next first year will probably cost you more. Same for second year i.e. You won't get a 'free fee' second year.

    If you must drop out, at least pass the year as it will stand to you if or when you get back.

    Call down to your programme office and chat with them about how it would impact you. It may also be worthwhile contacting the student advisers: http://www.ucd.ie/advisers/.

    Whatever you do, please talk to someone who'll be able to advise you of all your options before taking the decision to drop out. You're not going to be the first person to find yourself in this situation, so there are people who can help and advise you.
