I just finished my first semester of college 2 hours away from where my family lives. It was hard at first, but I was so busy with Orientation things I started to worry less and have fun. I made new friends and then got left out which was hard, but made new ones and now my new friends and I are going to be rooming together next year! If you go to a college where you live on campus check the christian organizations (Campus Crusade and Intervarsity and others) they really helped me to get involved in college. I will definitely be praying for you. It helped me tons to know my parents and family were praying for me.
