Hi I’m just wondering if anyone could share their experiences in student accommodation at university , whilst having social anxiety.
For more info I’m a mature student (20) so not by much , I’ve moved out of my parents house at 18 because living at home with my family was hell and there was a lot of issues. I have now moved into my own flat recently ( instead of a bedroom) . My mental health is loads better living on my own without family , I love the space I have compared just a bedroom. I’ve struggled massively with friendships in high school& post 16 college. But now that I’ve gone back to college this year I get on really well with everyone on my course, and have made good friends.
I’m considering student accommodation particularly one uni I’ve been to , the atmosphere is amazing and I think I’d feel right at home. But i just wanted to hear people’s experiences (bad and good) because I’m not sure whether it would be a bad decison In the case of I don’t get on with my flat mates, get bullied or stuff like that. Or alternatively I make new friends and feel comfortable around my flat mates, and maybe feel happier because I’ll socialise more.
Also does anyone know if all uni accommodations will allow you to move halls in the case of not getting on with your flat mates? Or is that something I need to individually ask each university.
