Sorry for the random question but I am planning on attending uni and I'm nervous about how other students will perceive me because of how I speak. I have a typical American accent (no southern draw or intense city slang), the ones seen in most American movies and TV shows (Grey's anatomy etc, sorry if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about). I live near Philadelphia now but I will be leaving for London to attend uni in the future. I'm just super nervous about how people will perceive me because I'm American and have a different accent than them. Will my accent make me less likely to make friends, and will it annoy people? (if this changes anything, Im a girl, don't think it will though)
I would hate to show up to school and be seen as the weird foreign kid and feel like a outsider so any insight anyone has would be so helpful!
