Starting University

Hi I'm starting college too! I'm studying to be a rad tech, hopefully with x-ray machines, but we'll see. I'm currently in my first term as of now and I'm hoping it all goes well!!

aw hi, im starting uni this year as well. wishin you best luck (-;

I’m from the US, specifically New England and the place I go to offers both online and in person but strict covid rules, regardless it’s nice to be in person I learn so much better, but hopefully even online you’ll meet new people:)

Hey! I am currently a freshman at a university in America, so things may be a little different for you. I did learn a lot in my time here and thought I'd hop on to tell you. First off, it is extremely important to learn how to be okay with not being okay. Not everybody will like you/want to be your friend, and that's okay! Also, be sure to work on being comfortable with attending things by yourself, it is vital to get you to where you need to be in the experience. Plus, it will be a gateway into some socializing, which can be done in baby steps ("Hey, what's your major? Hey, have you had ___ class yet?"). Also, be sure to dedicate time to have "me time" at least twice a week. It is important to rest and digest during such a new experience in your life! My messages are open to talk, I wish you the best. You've got this and you are loved!!!

im starting uni too!! im reallyy nervous lol idk how to talk to people at all

hi I am starting uni this year too in September!! im super excited!, I got an unconditional offer meaning regardless of my grades I can go to this university that I love <3

It's really not as scary as it seems. Everything going on can make it seem daunting at first, but that's the same for everyone. I honestly do believe that university provides you with much more opportunities to get involved and meet people with similar interests than highschool ever does. Don't be afraid to go out and join clubs, go to events, and have fun. And if you are afraid, that's ok too, do it scared, it really is worth it!!

I'm planning on going back this year after dropping out of my Graphic Design BA (Hons) in London. Like I'm not going back into arts, I might end up in something else but I'm just on a held enrolment atm 

After going through depression due to the pandemic and not
having anyone to talk to. My last year of school was the worst, since I didn't
want to be alone after that stage ended where I could finally be with my
friends and talk. Today I overcame that fear of my loneliness, I healed from
depression and now I am two months away from entering University, I am very
excited.

I am starting college soon as well! Going in for Computer Science/Information Technology, but im a bit older :X Im 32... doing in person classes rather then online, I learn better that way, but Im nervous about returning to a school environment after being out of highschool for 13 years lol...

SaMeEeEe socializing has become harsh af

Im started uni this week, so far is cool but sometimes it gets heavy with homework specially biology

tbh I wish you Tons of luck!!

I started University last year and it's still difficult to me to make friends

Everyone have their own group and I struggle a lot trying to talk w then, it's like everyone is connected but u. But yeah, University it's quite different from high school, like, A LOT. Idk there in Australia, cuz I'm from Brazil, but there's lots of academic politics u have 2 go through, and it SUCKS A LOT AUGH

I hope u're getting along w your new journey :3

yo, i started college as well (computer science dude) 

the only bad thing is that the televison lied to me, there is nothing like any nonsense american movies (idk like american pie) bruh

at least where i live nd' study there isnt these type of stuff

Starting uni can definitely feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone—so many students are going through the same transition, especially with the mix of online and in-person classes. One thing that helped me adjust was staying organized with assignments and keeping track of grades early on. It makes a huge difference when you know where you stand academically instead of stressing later.

If you ever need a hand with that, this tool might help: gwacalculator.com.ph — it’s a simple GWA calculator where you can input your subjects and grades, and it shows your average instantly. Pretty handy for staying on top of things during your first year!

Hope uni life ends up being a lot less scary once you settle in.
