Yes, it's a big step in life. A huge transition. Why should you not experience trepidation from that idea? You are after all being "thrown" into an environment of insecurity! So yes, it's perfectly ok to feel scared.

Of course it is! There are huge decisions to be made, and college itself is very time consuming. Plus there is a lot of personal growth that happens during this time as well. Happy learning!

Well, i think it's normal to fear any kind of big changes in one's routine or structure, so it is normal to a certain extent. Now, if you are having panic attacks because of it then maybe you should consult a specialist.

Very normal. For most it's the first time they'll be away from their parents and having to fend mostly for themselves.

Of course it is! College is now a new and somehow strange experience in your life, and even though it sounds scary, you'll get used to it. Be brave, confident and do your best, everything will be okay :-)

Yes, of course! It's normal to be scared for change. I know that you've been used to high school for the last 4 or so years, but you'll get to be more independent in college and you'll get to become your own person.
