September 25, 200817 yr aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh scare. yeah i'm going to uni on saturday. moving in and so on. some 400 miles from the place i have lived my entire life. to say i am scared and nervous would be an understatement. xD hahaha. make me feel better please :D
September 25, 200817 yr Oh this is waiting for me next year and I wont be even studying in my country
September 25, 200817 yr I know what you're talking about. Im moving tomorrow to go to uni. Also around 400miles. And I cant make you feel better, but I can tell you I know what your going trough. Ive lived here my entire life too.
September 25, 200817 yr I remember going to my uni two years ago...I hadn't really given enough thought to the fact that I was going somewhere where I knew no one. :/ The best advice I can give you Jack.....talk to anyone and everyone you can in the first week! Try to make lots of friends. I didn't do that enough.... and then the people in my flat turned out to be jerks. and we should go watch a basketball match ;) This time next week, you'll look back and think what you were worried about. Just, go out and meet lots of people in the first couple of weeks, thats what I advise :)
September 25, 200817 yr I wish you a lot of luck Jack! and if anyone gives you a hard time...............well..........:thinking:............ there's always Coldplaying :idea2::lol: *should be banned for saying so much nonsense*
September 25, 200817 yr Author nation, if i could take anyone with me, it'd be you, man. :'( haha. but thanks for the words, everyone. i'm going to hertfordshire.

Just, go out and meet lots of people in the first couple of weeks, thats what I advise :) I've never been in a situation like this in my life but i'd advice you to do what Kara said. There will definitely be many other people in the same situation as you are so it shouldn't be too hard to find something to talk about with them either :wink:
September 25, 200817 yr ahhh I definitely know how you feel. I felt like this a year ago (funny that I'm moving out, back home, in some days)....at first everything is quite strange and new...ut I can tell you: if you get to know the right people then you'll loooooove it. It's really fun to live alone and be independent....but there are many problems to manage as well....it was the first time that I realised that I am an adult now...quite scary somehow... So, have fun at uni:nice:
September 25, 200817 yr here people (at least in this city) doesn't really go away to uni like almost all of you , my uni is 20 minutes far from home so I don't know how you feel but I agree with Kara... try to make friends and have lots of fun there... wish you the best
September 25, 200817 yr You are going to be fine, Jack. It's a new chapter in your life, relish it for what it's worth. :nice:
September 25, 200817 yr You are going to be fine, Jack. It's a new chapter in your life, relish it for what it's worth. :nice: And he'll be able to start visiting the Emirates, as it won't be too far away!!:P
September 25, 200817 yr Haha indeed, that lucky duck. :P I have a feeling he won't quite see it that way!!:P
September 25, 200817 yr well im hardly the first person on this board that you'd want to see step up and pat you on the back but, from my own experience, you'll have a great time, make new friends, new experiences, and college is, well, a blast in general. make first year count though. the workload, well, lets just say it gets heavier as you go along. anyway, good luck :)
September 25, 200817 yr i had to do the same thing last year. i'm not going to try to scare you, because i can tend to be quite an unadaptable person in terms of making friends with people my own age, but honestly, most people around this age love uni/college. i just happen to like my previous life much more, and i think i'm a special case. anyway, good luck! making friends is the best way to go about all this (something i can have a hard time with). it really won't be bad at all.
September 25, 200817 yr You're gonna be fine. My brother is also just starting college and he is loving every minute of it. As long as you bring Coldplay music and post here as often as possible, you should have everything you need.;)
September 26, 200817 yr Try to do something else besides going to uni. Do some more sports, find yourself an activity where you get to meet many people. Once you know at least some, it's much easier, trust me.
September 27, 200817 yr You'll do fine Jack. Even if its rough the first couple days just stick it out....things usually get better I find. And yeah, get involved with intermural sports teams, etc... ....and keep connected with coldplaying :P
