Hi from Byan Lepas, MY. I can really relate to your video. About your first semester struggles, and surviving it and not quitting. Good for you, lah! We have a saying, "No pain means no gain". My first semester in university abroad was very difficult and sometimes depressing. I almost quit, more than once, and I just barely passed my first semester (also in CS haha). I felt alone and I struggled in programming compared to others. because some were smarter and some others had much better CS exposure in high school than me, so they had the advantage. I didn't understand much of it! Most other students were already exposed to more advanced calculus than I was, so I struggled in that class too and I barely passed it. But as 1st year progressed, it gradually got "less bad" for me as I gradually adjusted. My 2nd year kept getting better. My grades improved from far below average before to above average by the end of 2nd year, yay. Then after 2nd year, I was usually happy and I finally thrived in 3rd year. I also met my gf there at university in year 3-4♥ After university, we eventually got married and worked in HK China and then here for a big US tech company. So it was all worth it and changed my life! I love your country and her. NO "regrets"! GOOD LUCK!!
Don't worry my cutie. It is common and just need adjustment. Any new places you'll need time, sometimes it's quicker, sometimes it's longer but eventually you'll get used to it. When you return home after graduation you'll have a special experience that most local people don't have and be an experienced international person! 😊

Sometimes the cheaper courses would make people regret quickly, easily and don't think of how much effects she/he put it in for the foreign study and no motivation, understand. I haven't watched the video yet but since I read some comments, I think that she wasn't ready for everything before she went abroad, unless she intended to change her attitude which is happy to learn new things around her and tried to adapt to a new environment. Life is endless learning.😢
