You are not alone in feeling this way @hopefulhoney . It’s a big transition and even if you were going to the school you hoped to earlier, you might still be feeling like this.
Random roommate is all my kids knew - worked out great for both of them. Far away? Scary but…can be very exciting to make a home in a part of the world/country you don’t know well.
I agree with others - look at the course catalog. Join the social media group, if you like that sort of thing. Imagine what you might do in the new area - hike in the country or Walk the new city? Have a coffee in the cute town? Whatever it is.
Agree with others about the helpfulness of the humblebrag…seriously?
