    Making friends with the wrong group of people. I'll end up forcing conversation with the most outgoing people on freshers, when in reality I should be talking to the shy girl in the corner who I probably have alot more in common with :/

    Not making friends really is such a big worry for me... I'm too damn weird and a bit awkward
    Other main worry is sharing a flat with all females... Sounds weird but I just find it easier to talk to and get along with guys

    Other worries
    -Realising I hate my subject
    -Finding it way to hard
    -Getting lost (I am so bad with directions )

    Oh, and not being able to understand the Scottish accents! :rolleyes:
    What's wroong wae Scottish accents like?

    1. Food (they say food is different in different countries)
    2. Not being able to speak English fluently at first.
    3. Getting lost (my home town is small compared to the one I'll be going to)
    4. Having financial difficulties.

    .... and yea I have mixed feelings towards not finding friends ....

    people stealing my food.

    and if the flatmates smoke, smoking in the kitchen / living area cause im asthmatic and fag smoke triggers me really bad i dont mind if im stood with a friend outside but i cant live with it :'(
    I'd go mental if someone was smoking in the flat. I don't mind people who smoke, but don't do it in my home.

    Biggest worry is that first year is going to be incredibly hard, also as I'm going Greenwich I'm not sure if Freshers week is going to be incredibly crap compared to many of the other universities out there, only time will tell xD

    The people that I will be in digs with, house/flat mates. I hope I don't end up sharing with some obnoxious yet stupid prick who has only got in because daddy pulled some strings.

    I dropped out of my old uni because I didn't enjoy the course (but really liked the place) so I'm worried I'll get to my new one and not like it as much, no more room for mistakes so I have to make Keele work!

    Re: What's your biggest uni worry?
    I'm worried I won't have very much money compared to everyone else and end up stuck in my room while everyone's out for the night! Also worried that I won't click with my flatmates and end up with no friends haha!

    Re: What's your biggest uni worry?
    worried i will not have enough money to finish the course! Was made redundant from my job early and a few k short of where I wanted to be!
    Also worried there will be lots of elitist people who will look down on me for being poor, working class.
    Finally worried I will be dumber than everyone else there

    Worried that I firstly don't get in, and then after that.. That No one likes me and I make no friends! So basically the same as everyone else! My uni is quite far from home ( around 5 hours on the train) so I won't be able to pop home anytime I like, so a little bit worried I get homesick! But apart from that ...I am really hoping I get in, because I am quite excited!
