Biggest fear when starting uni?

Scroll to see replies

I have plenty reasons :L

Being 17 till May
Not drinking alcohol (due to medical reasons and possibly having to take strong painkillers at any time)
And my medical condition - which is better than it used to be so hopefully wont have many problems!

And not making many friends due to the three reasons above :L

Lack of people with similar cultural background

I'm worried I'm either going to end up in halls with 2 messy guys who are hitting on me all the time or 2 girls that just decide to hate me or a guy and a girl that end up liking eachother and all I can hear in the next room is the sound of teenage desperation by bedsqueaks.
but the chances of me not getting on with anyone I guess are slim.

Being the only weed smoker in my halls and everyone judging me if they all find out I did it.

You will have no issue, there are ALWAYS weed smokers somewhere at uni.

And it is a great link to many beautiful friendships. :tongue:

I had, but i didn't smoke so much.

You got to pretty careful with drugs though, it's pretty easier to get into smoking to much and wasting your money.
or smoking fags too (i managed to quit after 2 months of pointless fags) :redface:

And theres going around many unis and some are pretty dangerous,
I've never tried coke or acid or anything.
Though i've been offered alot. :tongue:

I have a couple, the obvious one that I won't make any friends and the other is running out of money. The horror!

Getting fat, once I discovered the nutritional black hole that is catered halls and that there was no oven in accommodation and only one working hob ring between 12 people... also there was a vending machine right outside.

Two stone later I regret not being self-catered.

I had a lot of worries but I think my main one was not making any friends, or living with people who just want to get drunk every night. Turns out, I ended up living with some of the most amazing people in halls, now I'm living in a lovely house with 7 of them. For me, I prefer to be in a small group of really close friends, rather than having a lot of acquaintances - so I'm really happy. :h:

As stupid as it sounds, one of my biggest fears about uni is that it won't be as great as I imagine. I want uni to be somewhere where I can further my life, meet new friends, and get away from home, yet I'm scared that my life's gonna be crap when I go to uni.

I'm a bit worried that if I go to my first choice uni, it's going to be full of annoying posh kids who are only there because they didn't get into Oxbridge.

Other than that, pretty much the same as everyone else: not making friends, not having enough money, and completely failing the course.

I'm also scared that halfway through I'll decide that I actually don't want to do this course any more and I'll have wasted all of my time.

Everyone on here is scared that they'll be the only ones not drinking alcohol. I'm getting a bit scared I'll have no one to drink with... :wink:

SAME, i'm slightly worried about my potential housemates. I like to drink, but also take my studies seriously, and i'm worried my flatmates will either be TOO loud or TOO quiet :/

Not making enough friends or just mixing with the wrong people, find the work too hard, living with annoying housemates, worried about how people are going to judge you, not being able to budget efficiently etc
