Leaning towards a career in agriculture or wildlife preservation but nothing I’ve set my heart on. I need a college education regardless. I was homeschooled after freshman year and don’t have a lot of experience in large academic settings. I saw a mental health professional but eventually stopped. I don’t think my problem is necessarily interaction on a day to day basis but rather, not having a space to be alone and do things the way I need to be comfortable, i.e. my own space for food and cooking, be alone, study in whatever environment I need (no distractions) would be a major hindrance to my ability to succeed in a college environment.
I appreciate you (and those above) taking the time to help. I think my best option is to find a university that doesn’t require on campus housing.

I guess that would be my concern. You say you dont think its going to be the day to day interactions with people yet then you note you have little experience in classroom settings. How do you plan to deal with being in a lecture hall with lets say 30 plus people minimum for an hour or more?
As a college professor who sees MANY students struggling with anxiety, do think about reaching out for therapy again before starting college if possible. Setting yourself up for the best success is very important.
