Answer 1

I feel for you dear, as exciting as it is - there is an element of fear in moving on and up in your life among others you do not know and have no history with - yet.

Take a favorite pillow, stuffed animal, sentimental letters of importance to you.  Make sure you touch base in the beginning with home life at least once a week and honey, get out there an join at least one club or activity where you will meet others.  That aside, no doubt you'll have a roomate and hopefully you two will get along, not to mention, you may meet others in class you want to know better.

Try not to be afraid honey, look at this as an opportunity - a journey to expand your horizon and understanding of life.  Do your job right now, get an education and do it FOR YOURSELF, not a job - not money - but for YOU!  It's a gift we give ourselves, believe me...I dropped out as a young gal to marry, and returned at 40 to finish and did.  A little backwards, for sure...wish I'd had your opportunity but didn't - so you make the most of it dear, you go for that "brass ring" of opening up your world so you have a better understanding of it - and yourself.

Warm and sincerest regards,

Grace

You will be fine.  I promise you.  Right now you have a fear of the unknown but you should be so excited.  This is going to be a great new life for you.  New things are always scary.  I remember that I lived near my parents after I got married and had my children and then due to my husband's job we had to move far away.  I was so scared about moving somewhere where I didn't know anyone and where my parents wouldn't be nearby.  Now I love where I live and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.  You aren't the only person at university who will feel this way.  There will be lots of new people who are also scared.  You will make lots of friends and love the university life.  When my sister went to university she cried all the time her first year and came home to visit a lot but after the first year we hardly ever saw her.  It is going to be great.  I love university.  It was one of the greatest times in my life.  I learned so much and it's where I met my first life.  You will be fine.  Just be friendly and you will make lots of friends.

I walked alway from everything I knew in Oklahoma to start a life in Albuquerque. It can be a bit hard and no matter what you do every now and then you'll get a bit homesick. The one thing that helped me was at least once a year I'd make time to go back and visit my friends and family. It's hard at first but youll meet some new people, make some new friends,  find new places to check out. You'll be fine.
