Nothing catastrophic is bound to happen, so make sure not to let your nervousness hold you back from becoming immersed in the college culture and activities and meeting new people. Mom and Dad will always be just a phone call (or maybe even a short drive) away. You’re not going to encounter anything that you can’t handle or won’t be able to figure out. So some degree of nervousness is totally normal, but don’t be nervous in a terrified sort of way. And starting college is no minor change - this is a major life change.
