i found that it was harder when i moved out and to college. the first year was the worst, just because of adjusting i think! and the 3rd was rough! i've now temporarily dropped out and go back to repeat 3rd and do my 4th, in september!
i think making sure you ask for help is essential, i asked but i had **** docters, and my college is so small it doesnt have any "help" people. so that made it hard.
i have moved back home, and now have a fantastic support system in place so i can go back, or do whatever i want! i find living with other people is good, i have arranged to get a friend move into my flat when i get back (as my boyfriend who i live with works bizarre hours! so i'm alone alot!) so i will have someone around me.
you do make friends/acquaintances easier at uni, so its easier to surround yourself with people. i find i just have to make the effort, even its to go round a mates for a cup of tea, when i'm having urges to SH. there are loads of people at uni, i learnt i need to just drop the people that are bad for me, and dont let there comments bother me. and meet lots of new fantastic ones! i have made the best friends at uni, who understand and are supportive and we're always there for each other.
sorry i've gone on alot there. thats how it was for me!
go and have a fantastic time, uni is really good fun!
wishing you all the best
