ive led a very sheltered life, so my biggest fear is the independence part. now dont get me wrong, im no follower. still, i worry about how the freedom is gonna overcome me and that i may b steered in the wrong direction.
for those apprehensive about friends. ur gonna have a roomate, thats one friend there. and if they kno somebody there, then there's intorductions. and of course u can make friends in ur classes. if u notice that u and another person may begin to have trouble in a course, u can discuss possibly starting a study group and then u have a whole group of friends.
My biggest concern with going to college is the way that I am going to finance my education. Getting into the school and being on my own is of no concern to me. I have been on my own for a while and adapting to school and the envirnment around the school is no concern because I can easily make friends.
The thing I'm most worried about is the academic pressure. Because even now in high school, everyone expects me to do well and when I don't, they never let me live it down. Because the scholarship I have have academic restrictions on whether I keep it or not, the pressure is there to do well. Also, because none of my friends are going to the same college as me, I'm afraid that it's going to be hard to make new friends and start over.
Being distracted by all of the commotion and hype that comes along with College life...parties, people, friends, sororities, fraternities etc., everything except for school work :!: Basically forgetting the real and true reason I am there....
My Biggest concern is Acaedmics! I don't want to waste my time and parents money by failing. And all the temptations of college life won't make it easier, but i'll cross that bridge when i get there....

Being distracted by dudes and being just plain lazy at times will be my biggest concern. I go to a predominately white high school so the change up to mostly all my own folks will be great, but very distracting. I know I won't have a problem with my school work, as long as I do it. I also am very concerned with the fact that I have never shared a room and I have a big room of my own, so it will be different if I have to share a room, and a small one at that. Regina
I would have to say all of the above. I say this becuz' of the fact that every last one of those issues has came to mind at one point of time or the other when I decided that I was going away for college. Being away from home is going to be a big adjustment for me becuz' I've never stayed more than a few days from "mi casa." I'll be losing all of my friends to college but of course I will KIT. I'm a little worried about dorm life and the academic pressure becuz' I don't really know what to expect and it makes me anxious and nervous at the sametime. The list goes on and on but I don't want to keep writing. I guess I just have to expect the unexpected and do what I have to do.
