Is it normal to feel scared to go to college?

"YES! College is scary! But- you can do it, because any college would be lucky to have you. You can go to a really hotshot college, but you could hate it because you're not meant to be there. You have a place in this world and you're gonna find it! It's normal to be scared to move away from all that's familiar to you, but you're gonna maybe stop feeling scared if you give it some time and try and do your best!" - my sibling who is in college, lol.

Sure! but its ok to be scared, it remind us we are alive, it's a big change, but as long as you get there and not only discover yourself but find out what you want to do with your life, that scared state of mind will go away.

Its completely normal to feel scared to go to college! Even if you aren’t leaving home you’ll be in a whole new environment that you know nothing about and that can be scary! It’s just about adjusting to the new environment that you’re in and that can take time but once you settle in and find your groove you’ll realize it’s a lot less scary than you think

Absolutely! Being away from your home, high school friends, and family is a very new experience for many.

It is normal to feel scared to go to college since it will be a whole new place, new people, new environment and it might be far from where you live. The idea sure sounds intimidating at first for many people if you view it from that perspective

Normal and common to a mundane level. After all, we are talking about being among a lot of new strange people you don't know, a priori, how to tackle and, at the same time, having to understand far harder topics than in high school. If you are scared, it's because you are meeting with something you don't understand yet. So, yeah, it's normal. And you're not the only one who feels that way.

Of course! It is an new experience, and you might not be quite sure what to expect. Most people are nervous when going to college, or any new school! Once you are there and begin to make friends, get to know the campus, and do well in your classes, you will feel much better.

Yes totally, it is a new experience and it is the first time you're without your parents and you're an adult. It is normal to be scared but don't be because although it is stressful it is also very fun and amazing.

Yes it is very normal because it is a new phase in your life but it can be an interesting experience if you open up your mind to it

It is very normal to feel scared before college. I was terrified when I started college because I had not really been away from home and being in a new place with new people is scary!! I promise though you will learn to adjust but I recommend making friends as soon as possible because it makes everything better!!
