Enjoy every minute, you only get to be a freshman once.
Most people do wind up liking where they go. So relax, odds are you’d be happy at a number of schools, which allows you to consider cost, etc.
I didn’t study in high school so I don’t know. But it’s definitely more intensive and takes up more time, obviously.
Biggest distraction is that you can do anything you want. It’s easy to not do work and just spend time with friends or something similar. Plus the partying aspect if you’re into it.
My first day was awkward, as I suspect most people’s were. But it was fine :)
I hated living with a roommate. I am not good at sharing a room. But some people don’t have problems with it. I’ll never share again.
I only applied to one school. I didn’t want to go anywhere else; all other schools didn’t seem as smart of an idea due to cost. I didn’t really compare colleges or visit many, I just applied to where I wanted to go. I found out later it was kind of risky since I could have been rejected, but I don’t worry about that now.
My roommate was random. However, if you and your roommate don’t click you can still have an awesome college experience. It’s not as important as it’s cracked up to be.
I have a job, 10 hrs/wk. I never have a problem balancing anything.
Right now my toughest class is experimental psychology, it’s five credits and makes me want to die. I’m also having a tough time in Econ 101 but that’s just because I have absolutely no aptitude for it.
