I need to know what to expect in college!

[matt1993]

From all the mixed views I've heard about the difficulty level of college, all I can tell is that college is harder than adding 47 + 23 and easier than working in a concentration camp, so I decided to try and settle this once and for all:

Poll How did/do you feel about college?

EDIT: For the record, I voted in my own poll :P

are you saying you dont want to go to college?!??!
I want to go to college, but I'm afraid that it might be really hard for me.

You're really brilliant & smart
Smart with math & computers, maybe, but if I'd had to do all the paperwork-type stuff in high school (FAFSA, transcript request form, graduation invitations, and so on) on my own, I wouldn't have made it. And, since I almost have to do that kinda stuff on my own in college... :(

I'm already accepted at the college I'm planning on going to, and they actually have an autism support program (though I may or not get in it because there's a long line of applicants), so I probably won't have to worry about the scholarships and loans and stuff unless I have to do them again the second semester or second year of college.

Is the not-having-to-pay-student-loans back thing just for people with disabilities?

Did you apply for disability benefits?

Aside from applying for the autism support program at Midwestern State University, I'm really not sure because my mom usually does all of the paperwork for me.

Do you have any scholarships now? I'm glad you got accepted.

Yep - quite a few actually! And thanks!

whats the name of your school? I forget where you live.. (sorry)

I live in Texas, but since this is a public entry, I won't mention the name of my school in these comments. I will, however, link to a post mentioning it that is only visible to autism members. :)

DANGER: Do NOT read the comments of that entry!
