Could this be the end of someone’s college career?
Is there a way to start again at another college a few years later, after finding out what you really want to do? How

Good for you for going back to school. And yes you can go back to school. Contact the school you would like to attend and talk talk to a course counselor and they should be able to get you the paperwork, and requirements that you need.
Make sure you explain to them that there were extraneous circumstances to your dropping out (you do not need to go into details, just tell them that because of some extreme personal problems you were unable to finish the semester).
Good Luck and Best Wishes…
You may, in fact, want to consider a small, private, two year college (often called a “junior college”) – one which pays you a lot of personal attention, and where the administration will help you make sure that you graduate. It’s not that the work is easier, but it’s the type of school where if you start missing classes, they contact you and try to help you figure out a way through the issues that are preventing you from attending class. This usually isn’t a community college. It could be a two year school, but one which is private. Dean College, in Mass., may be a fit. I’ll attach a link to all of the private, two year colleges in the US, so you can investigate those close to you.
Many junior colleges offer open admissions, or are non-competitive, so that your past grades and etc. won’t overly impact your chances of getting in.
I’m not sure where you are located, but in my region, there are a lot of schools like this.
Or, turn your admissions essay into a reflection on how yes all this bull **** happened to you but you ended up stronger in the end and now you’re ready to tackle life full force, etc. College admissions offices love that stuff.
(On another note, I go to a women’s college and they are really great and supportive when it comes to Sexual Assult. The whole school comes out for our Bring Back the Night event.)
Be honest about what happened and people will be willing to help you.
Just tell them what happend and they should be understanding.
