Make sure you're well organised, you have everything you're going to need ready. That way if you know you're prepared, you'll feel more confident once you're there.

Concentrate in class but remember to try and be a little social, smile, talk to new people, you'll make friends a lot quicker :)

It's okay to be nervous! Are going away to college or staying home and going to college? I was nervous as well but it ended up being a fantastic experience! Just have fun, try new things, meet new people and learn from those around you. By that I mean, learn not only from books but also people and experiences. You will be fine! I'd be happy to talk more if you like!

Its normal to be nervous.I started college this past February,after being out of school for almost 18 years.Just organize your time for family,school,work,social,homework and all,you'll be fine.I am in my third term(3rd term ends in 2 weeks)and I have been on presidents list each term,including this one and that's the highest honor,you have to have a 3.96 to 4.0 to make that.Oh,and don't push yourself,if you get stuck on work,take a break then go back to it,that's what I do.Good luck honey

GOOD FOR YOU! Congrats on getting into college! Do your HW every day. Don't skip readings and make a study plan for what you need to work on when you need to work on it. If you do a little at a time, it'll be easier than trying to cram.
