Nothing says you cannot continue your education back in LA. Also, nothing says you cannot dive deeper into the world of startups in Austin, either. If I were you, I'd put some more thought into what you actually want to do. You sound interested in programming and startups, but I don't think it sounds like you know enough to actually know what you'd be getting yourself into if you just moved back to LA immediately. With how much programming you describe yourself as knowing, it would probably be difficult to find a job at a startup, too. I guess it all just depends on your scenario and stuff, but from what you've described, I'd say stick it out with at least another semester, but make it a goal of yours to really think about what you want to do during that semester.
