college life

No matter how prepared you think you are for college, you may feel anxious when you arrive on campus—even flat-out panicked. But not to worry. Here's some advice from those who have "gone before."You may wonder about making friends at college. Many people do. But you'll discover soon enough there are plenty of potential friends to meet.What do you enjoy experiencing with others? Whether that's rock climbing or the camaraderie of a Greek society, chances are excellent you'll meet people you have much in common with. On the other hand, one of the big benefits of college is meeting new kinds of people, so going outside your comfort zone might surprise you. If you are a gamester whiz, maybe a rock climbing class will open up a whole world for you.Even in bigger colleges, you will see the same people in your dining hall, dorms, and classes. In one of our Student Profiles, a student describes making friends while studying in the library. Even hanging out with students you meet in your dorm hallway is an easy way to make friends.The important thing is to take that first step. Don't hole up in your room. Cut back on solitary amusements, such as computer games. Introduce yourself. Invite new friends out. Even something as simple as wearing a friendly face can get the ball rolling. If you need <a href="https://myhomeworkhelp.com/online-college-homework-help/">help in college assignments</a>, there are so many online websites for help. It typically takes a semester or quarter to hit your stride. Looking back on those early days you may very well shake your head and wonder what all the fuss was about. You might even feel a little nostalgic! A few students, however, may feel overwhelmed and homesick for a while. They may miss their parents, friends, even the family dog. They may find that going to college is not quite what they expected.If this turns out to be you, take advantage of on-campus counseling services. Virtually all colleges have such services. Your health center staff can help you get started. They are highly experienced at helping students just like you.

Hi, I don't know where you're from but if you're in the USA this might help:Every college in the US is mandated to accommodate disabilities.  Before you even begin classes you can get in touch with their ADA office.  You might need paperwork from your neuro, and they might want you to have a meeting with advisers from the college so they can decide what they can do for you. The law is that they need to provide 'reasonable accommodations.' That means they have to do anything for you to be able to be in the program, as long as it isn't too expensive or unreasonably inconvenient.  The catch part is that it's also only as long as it doesn't interfere with the purpose/goal/intention of the class. So they might be able to help you with deadlines, but pretty sure they will not allow you to skip assignments altogether. They can probably be lenient with attendance, but if they decide the class won't work if you miss too much, they don't have to.  That's why different colleges will accommodate different amounts.  Get in touch with your college and start the conversation now.  I'm in the process of getting accommodations for graduate school, and so far everyone has been really kind and understanding.  They generally want students to be happy, they want a good reputation, and they'll do what they can.  Not every professor will necessarily be the most understanding, and some will be amazing about it. If you have been an A student and you show them that you want to succeed, I am sure they will do their best to help you. Best of luck, and don't stress! Your health comes before your grades :)

When I was in college, this was the deal: Professors do NOT and should NOT have to alter their class set up and syllabus to accomodate a disability.(aka everyone takes 2 midterms and has....10 labs even people with disabilities) However, if a seizure happens during one of the assignments, then your teacher has to accomodate. That is, if he assigned homework on Thursday but your seizure activity increased, then you may be able to dismiss the homework.( because your disability interfered with your performance). If you can prove you were sick or have a doctor's note, than accomodations can be made but the first thing you need to do is register with the disability department on campus.
