Biggest fear when starting uni?

Scroll to see replies

I'm worried that I'll be sharing a flat with people I won't get on with more than anything else. But I'm still excited to be moving away from home :smile:

I was so scared I was going to miss deadlines, so I wasn't going to be an "official" student or I'd filled out my forms wrong or something stupid like that! When I was at home, my parents always double checked forms for me, and wrote all the deadlines on the notice board in the kitchen.

At the moment I have lots, hopefully by the time September comes around some of these will have dissappeared :rolleyes:

My biggest fear;
Not being posh enough..I have a proper Derbyshire accent which is so 'common' (aka. saying Baff, instead of Barth) I am worried noone will understand me :s-smilie:

Plus the usual;
Not making friends
Overwhelmed by the workload
Being one of the 'dumb' ones
Not being able to cook
Running out of money

Don't worry about it. To northerners I probably have a 'posh' accent but I'm looking forward to meeting people who speak differently.

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 :/

same with me, i like to party hard, but i like to keep up with studies. there needs to be a balance i guess, hopefully my flatmates are the same!

Hey everyone :smile:

I'm due to start university in September 2012. I was just wandering what everyone's biggest fear was/is, about starting university?

Personally, my biggest fear is that I won't be able to cope without my family :colondollar:

Looking forward to hearing your replies :biggrin:

I was just thinking about making a thread like this yesterday. I'm so glad that I've found this. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one with worries (even though I'm so excited at the same time).

I'm afraid of the debt, being unable to cope, and missing my family.

nervous perhaps not scared as such but I went to uni before and dropped out so am starting at a new uni so just nervous at my sort of perceptions of being at uni before. if that makes sense :s-smilie:

I'm worried that I will still be able to be a good enough mum to my children, even though I will be studying and working part-time. I want a better future for us, but I don't want them to suffer as a consequence.

I think I will be doing a lot of housework in the middle of the night :biggrin:
