Finish college out of state or go home for school

I have been attending seattle university for two quarters and have begun to feel very homesick and disconnected from the university and my friends(the few that I have made). I am trying to decided if I should go back to Colorado and enroll in school, but I would have to take the rest of the year off, or to try to stay here even though I am having a tough time and am quite misterable.

Pro: 

PRO: for going home to Colorado:
- getting to see my parents on a weekly basis
- getting to see my brother and spend more time with him (he is my best friend)
- not having to deal with homesickness and the anxiety that comes with it
- being able to get a job from March to August
- school will be cheaper because I will be switching from a private university to a state school
- get to see my grandpa and spend more time with him
- feel more connected to the world that I know so well
- get the opportunity to have a nice roommate (my roomie now is less than ideal...)
- getting the opportunity to feel happy again
- nice weather with sunshine

Con: 

CON: for going home to Colorado:
- feeling regretful that I didnt finish my first full year of college
- feeling like I would let my parents down by coming home
- losing contact with the few friends that I have made here
- not being able to major in what I would like
- losing credits because I will be going from a private university on the quarter system to a state university on the semester system
- never getting this opportunity again
- going home now may make it harder for me to leave again for long periods of time...how will I ever work in Africa?
- the weather gets a lot nicer in the Spring, which is when I would be leaving so I would not be able to experience that
- not returning to school until August, could put me behind and cause me to lose focus
- more pressure to graduate on time (2013)
- living with my parents again after I have already experienced freedom.
