My community college didn’t even have a tour and our “orientation” was just to schedule classes and the people helping us didn’t really help at all. I have two classes ten minutes apart and they are in different buildings on opposite ends of the street. They expect us to know what to do and where everything is. Also I have no friends attending the same college. Honestly petrified because I feel so lost and overwhelmed. I’m afraid I’ll be late.

I know this is like 2 years late but I start college on Monday and I’m excited but I’m also nervous. Thank you for making a video specifically for community college attendees.

I would add that visiting professors at least once during office hours is important. The can provide you with letters of recommendation for transfer, etc. It is also a time when you can talk to them about any issues you may be having in the class. It is good when instructors know you.

thank you soooo much for this, I start my first year of community college on August 21st and I am scared out of my mind! I will take your advice to heart!

Man I start this week and I'm nervous as all heck. I was home schooled and just graduated so this is my first experience 'in the outside world' kinda thing. I've got some major anxiety when it comes to talking to people and I'm really inexperienced with... well, everything. This video helped me a bit tho so thanks for that.

Thank you so much for uploading this!!! I'm starting community college in the fall! I'm so nervous 😃

I’m noticing a lot of “well my community college is super laid back!!” And that’s great - but I think a huge point to remember is that most students transfer to a university after CC. If you take CC as seriously as possible and practice things like not taking your phone out, respecting instructors, etc., then you’ll be more prepared in a possibly more structured and strict environment like a university.

[mewmewsasfirebell]

I just graduated highschool, and I'm nervous about college.

[matthewspringer]

I start tomorrow hella nervous lmao but the thing that makes me feel better is everyone’s nervous too. We’re all in the same boat it’s like starting high school all over again

Great video, however, you kind of made community college out to be kind of more severe than what it is. I'm going into my third year of community college, my instructors are extremely laid back. We address them by their first names. Maybe that's just my college. *Shrugs* A tip I would add is that as adults, you have to learn self-discipline. Is your phone on your desk going to be distracting to you? Can you take notes on your laptop without bringing up Facebook? Ask yourself what can you do for yourself to be successful.

Man I go to a trade school for welding (community), biggest lesson I learned is that nobody cares about you. I don't mean that in a bad way but there is no real pressure for friends.. I mean yes I talk to a few and eventually get to know some students much more personally and its fun to talk to them but its not necessary. I would however make friends with the instructor, at my school they can give great advice and provide feedback crucial for a better grade as well as information for the future work you are going to take., My instructors are loose, swear, and carry a chill aura about themselves. The phone thing is not true in my experience and I've seen people just on their phones 24/7 and most teachers don't blink an eye because they get paid regardless of your grades. Nothing to worry about IMO especially if you are in a community trade school because of the fact that it is self-paced, you get out what you put into it and you can finish some classes like a week early if you are on great track. Don't freak out and act as if making friends is the main goal, the main goal is education. Buckle down and don't procrastinate and you can achieve your goals, make a GOOD schedule that's realistic.
