I hope the pain has now been settled. Gallstone disease can get complicated any time. hence to predict the time period for which you will remain symptom free or chances of complication in a certain time is unpredictable. once it becomes symptomatic the only solution is to remove the gall bladder. However, as you are away from the home for study purpose you may take this risk for this period and get this surgery done as soon as are back.

since stones are small in size There is possibility of it to migrate in the CBD and can cause Jaundice or severe Pancreatitis which can be fatal therefore I will advise its treatment.
