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 
), 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

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
that last comment really is no help, haha.
im absolutely...well scared! but i have 2 older sisters who went and are so happy they went and are having a great time. which ones have you applied to? my sisters went to london met andliverpool john moores...soi i know that they enjoy it loads! and everyone who goes to Sheffield (uni of OR hallam) absolutely love it there! just look forward to it rather than dreading it??? ive gotta do 4 interviews (hopefgully 5 if trent get back to me!)starting next week and im so scared!

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.
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.

Ive applied to York, Sheffield, Loughborough, Leiceister and Surrey. I got two offers already and the others interviews. Im so nervous about my interview at York, its this Monday! Good luck with your interviews. Where else have you applied?
Im terrified that I wont have enough money, I wont make any friends and I wont understand my course I just want the wait to be over and get there!!!! I also dont think ill be able to let go of my mum when she drops me off ill be in bits because were really close. Its terrifying I agree
In the exact same boat, especially as I am going across the water to study!

Yea im worried about the cleverness thing
, 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
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.
