Scared to go to University...

Is anyone else scared of going to univeristy?

Im really excited at the same time, but i worry what if i no one likes me, or I'm not clever enough to study at degree level. Im very close to my family, and since all the universities I've applied for are miles away from home, im really nervous about going!

It's natural you're feeling nervous- you're going to be living away at home. I have moments where I think, what if I don't fit in? Or I end up living with someone I don't like? Or I get homesick. It's a learning experience (I sound like my mum :rolleyes:

), and sure it's scary, it's a big step. But try not to focus on the 'scary points'. You'll be meeting new people, learning something different, and experiencing different things. Plus, when you do get to see your family it'll be even better when you get to spend time with them :smile:

I'm scared to go back. Too much work, and too little time.

Thank goodness somebody else feels like I do! I am absolutely terrified about going to Uni! Don't misunderstand I do really really want to go but I too am worried that the work will be too hard, that i won't make any friends etc etc.Also I daredn't look forward to Uni in case i don't get the points required in the first place! I worry about other daft things aswell - I am from a small school and worry that I will never find my way around campus nor get to the right lectures at the right time . I know this post makes me sound right a like wuss but I see all my friends really looking forward to starting Uni and I just have this icy fear about the whole thing :s-smilie:

ah join the club, I'm really scared aswell. I'm going to be living at home but all my friends are living in halls. I feel like once I go uni, Iwont be clever enough to fulfil the course and I wont make any friends because they will be busy with friends they made in their halls.

I'm scared of going back, yet excited. I live so far away and I'm finding it really difficult to split my home in Wales to my home in uni. It's gonna be horrible when I go back next weekend.

Im scared, but its best not to panic, just take it i in your stride, you did it when you joined primary school, then when you joined secondaty school, and once again in sixth form, once more cant hurt right? 0.o

i felt the same when i started going to university,as i come from a small town where most people knew each other,then going to a large city (Birmingham).I felt very lonely at first but i soon made new mates on campus.

With some of the weirdos on here, I'd be scared, very scared. :biggrin:

It's natural to have worries about uni. try to avoid working yourself up and go in with an open mind.

Yea im worried about the cleverness thing :frown:

, always the bottom of the top. Ah well, will try not to compare myself.
Think loads of people will be nervous, sure if your moving out it'll be easier to make friends, specially on your floor :smile:

Hey, i'm scared about it as well!
My brother has just finished uni and when he went he was so shy around other people and wasnt the most intelligent person either.
he fitted in fine and really enjoyed it so everyone dont worry!
I go to bording school so obviously i wont have the home sick thing to deal with but a bit of advice for people to have is don't think about it and keep busy. :smile:
