Of course it is. I was scared too! Especially if you don't know many people there, I didn't know anyone when I began, but suddenly I felt better when I started talking to different people

Definitely! It's a big step and, like all new things, can be scary. Just know that it's quite the experience and really not all it's blown up to be.

Absolutely! College is a big step and it can mold the rest of your life. But it is important to remember that you are in total control of how well you do and how motivated you can be. Take charge and do your best!

Of course it is. It’s most likely your first time being away from your family for an extended period of time. College is also in general, a new experience. You don’t know exactly how it’s like. You’ll get used to it. I know you will :)

Yes! It's quite normal to feel that way. College is a huge step, and many people do feel scared before going off to college. One of my close friends was scared to go off to college. Regardless, try not to worry or be scared too much. College can bring challenges, but it can also bring really great things too!! Eventually after a while of going to college, you'll adjust to it, and even likely make a few friend :b It'll be hard, but it'll also be worth it!!

I believe that it is absolutely normal to feel scared. This is a big, possibly biggest, change you have had so far in your life. You are leaving he place you have been forever and being placed somewhere completely new- with new people- and that’s frightening. That's not saying that it is not going to become non-scary, you will adjust just like you have with every other challenge thrown your way. Granted this one is much, much larger but still the same you can and will get though it, and be stronger because of it.

Yes. College is a new experience. And all new experiences are hard. Surround yourself with people you love and will support you.

Absolutely. College is a huge adjustment and almost everybody is nervous about going. Just make sure to take care of yourself. You’ll make lots of friends and memories and soon you’ll forget why you were nervous in the first place :)
