Hell no! I've known 70 and 80 years olds teaching AND/OR attending college!!! \n\nWhat are you talking about? You're NEVER too old, to further your education... NEVER! Don't let anyone tell you different! :-D\n\nGood luck!\n\nBest wishes,\n\nMichelle

I second the two-at-most answer as a rule of thumb - and one that's true at most colleges of any sort. That said, do check with Your Particular Community College: some schools have their own way of going about things.

It won't help you directly. I mean the admission people at the Universities won't say "Hey! This one has got martial arts! I know I'm choosing to invite!". But if you can learn life-skills though Martial Arts, it might help you through the stressful times at University.

Everyone finds parts of uni life tough -that's at least one of the things you're going to have in common with almost everyone else.\n\nIt's fine if you didn't immediately find people you're completely comfortable with -but you will make friends if you stick with it!\nRemember it's still early days, so try to focus on the work until you're more comfortable with people in your year.

really not much.  Just prepare well for the SAT, and as long as your GPA is decent you will have plenty of colleges that will accept you.

Come on now, you can't just be super nice with everyone. Just because they accepted you, doesn't mean you have to go there. If that's the college you want to go to, than go. Just think about it. YOUR CAREER, depends on this. And you messed it up because you couldn't say "no". I'm not trying to be mean, just trying to make a point. Okay, good luck.

I did not quite understand the ins and outs of your situation, but if you are determined to go to this particular school, perhaps you should make an appointment to see the chair and ask his/her advice about what you could do to better your chances of being accepted.

Try not to party too much.\nYes, it is possible. I know because I don't remember much of my Freshman year of College...

You are in a difficult position as you are their instructor. You cant get included unless you form a casual relationship of friendship first, by chatting etc. As you build up trust, then you can mention that you are interested in going along to join their activities, or even ask what activities you could get into from them. Maybe better for you to look outside of the school, join social activities like evening classes. Less complications with relationships with "students " etc.

hey thats all the better that your smart! dont worry- just because you smart doesnt mean that you can only hang out with the "smart kids" (unless you want to!!) i moved to New York from South Korea in 6th grade (i knew english fluently) and was placed in the highest classes available. they were easy for me but the people there wernt my type so i made friends with people that wernt in my class. i distance learned for 7th grade and now im going back there for 8th and i asked specifically to not be placed in the high classes because i wanted to be more with my friends. keep this in mind- once you get to college there is no such thing as the "cool crowd" the "geeks" or any of that. you can roll out of bed put your hair up and walk to class in your pajamas without taking a shower and no one cares. most of the time you wont even talk to others in your class anyway in college. besides good grades mean good job so do your best and dont let schooling get in the way of your friendship!

Dear dear teenager, \nI went to private school all 14 years of my education and I loved it.  If you were popular at your private school I feel certain that you will be fine at your new school.  Here's the thing: you are nervous about being in a bigger group.  I went to school with the same 100 or so people for over a decade, and I still got nervous every year on the first day of school.  Was I wearing a cool outfit?  Was my hair ok?  Everyone has these kinds of feelings.  What you need to worry about most at this time in your life is who you are and what you consider important in your life.  The groups or "clicks" at this new school may totally be something that you are not into, and that is nothing to be ashamed of I assure you.  Be yourself dearest, and you will be great I am certain.  Don't be afraid to be who you are and how you act.  \nBE YOURSELF -- everyone will love you\n\ngood luck

It's REALLY scary moving away for the first time but don't worry!!!  I can't stress this enough.  You worry about whether you'll meet anyone you'll get on with and the answer is a resounding "yes".\n\nThe worst part is the first few moments when you're completely by yourself.  If you live in halls of residence, simply go into the kitchen and make a cup of tea - someone is bound to come in and you can start a conversation.  Or knock on the door next to you.\nIn classes don't be scared to sit next to someone you don't know and start talking to them.\n\nJust remember, everyone is in the same boat as yourself and probably just as nervous and scared.  Before long you'll have loads of friends and people to hang out with and you'll be a stronger and more independent person for having taken that big first step!\n\nBest of luck! You'll love uni, I promise!!!

I agree your situation is totally common, I am a freshman in a community college and it is common to feel like you are alone. Professional help is not a bad choice, I think. But I also think that you need to adjust your focus. School is very important and girls can always wait. I went through this recently, I was totally focused on the guys, I thought that I needed a guy to feel good about myself, but it isn't true. You can't expect anyone to accept who you are until you do!! You are a great person and you have many great qualities, but you can't show anyone that until you believe it yourself:) Think positive the sun will show again tomorrow and you get another chance at your life:)
