| It's not like you are really living in a "big city." You will be living in one building within a school community; the "bigness" of the city will only effect you as much as you want it to effect you (ie, it depends on how much you choose to venture away from your school community. And the nice thing is that you can explore the rest of that big city at your own pace; it will not even be part of your world at first, unless you want it to be).
So instead of worrying about the size of the city and how you will adapt to that, focus on how you will get to know your school community - spend time preparing yourself this summer, familiarize yourself with campus maps, identify ECs you might like to get involved in, etc. This is also how you will discover ways to fit it, by learning what the school has to offer you and how you can become an involved part of it. At orientation this summer you will also have a chance to explore the campus more. By preparing yourself first for the transition to your new school, as best you can, you will be much better prepared to deal with other new experiences in this city, as they arise.
(I speak as a parent of a current student - from the midwest - who has Asperger's, so the whole transitioning process was especially important - and helpful - for him. And he LOVES the school) |
