There ate things you have never dealt with before .living away from home dealing with roommates ,washing your own clothes but with a little preparation you can build enough confidence to tackle any stess that comes your way Living away from home tends to be the toughest adjustment for first-year students You have had a job description that clearly tells you your role within your family all your life Whichever role you fulfilled at home .when you are gone .you are not sure where you fit in. It may seem like your family is doing fine without you and you may feel sad about these changes You may also feel homesick in your first weeks and months .The first thing you should know is that homesickness is very common .In fact .just about everyone experiences it at some point in his or her life .But you still may feel lonely or left out .

Those are the usual things you will deal with when going to college, I've got friends that are facing that same situation when we met during college. I'm lucky that the university that I attend to is just here in the city and it would just take about 30-45 minutes of riding jeeps going there. They actually lonely and homesick especially from the start but when you get to know your way around, it'll be ok.. If one doesn't want to be left out then I think you should be active socially so that you won't feel lonely, there are also people who would want to approach you.. :)
