I'm sorry that you're living in a place where you're having to make a decision of safety over education.

There is some glimpse of hope in that you've stated that your anxiety is going down.

You sound sensible and I don't believe you'd knowingly put yourself in a position of danger if you go there.

I'm just wondering where you are from with the mention of police escourt services. That's a little unnerving I have to admit.

At the end of the day you need to make a decision that is going to serve in your best interests. If you think you'd be able to put your fears aside and focus on your studies, good. It depends on whether one outweighs the other.

Good luck because this is a hard decision.
