To college students or graduates that have been home schooled.?

Question

Did you find the change from being homeschooled to going to college difficult, exciting, easy...? Thanks

Answer 1

I found it easy as well. The only nervousness was (naturally) starting something new.
Honestly, wether you're learning at home or in a classroom I found college wasn't much different. Also, since it was new to me I wasn't sick of getting up and going to school. (although that feeling can wear off rather fast! lol)

Answer 2

My daughter was homeschooled from the 4th grade thru High School. She then went to College and is now a senior in a pre-med program at the University.
She was very focused and diligent before, so she had no problems adjusting. She felt excited, because she knew this was the "serious" stuff.
She has won essay contest, is an honor student and is receiving a scholarship as well.

The more you prepare for college, the better. Social skills were never an issue with her. Your preparation in English, Math and Science should be very strong, this is true for everyone. Know how to organize your time and how to properly choose friends or study-buddies.

Answer 3

I was homeschooled for the last two years of high-school. I found it easy to adjust to university as independent learning, time-management and self-discipline are all important attributes of university students. I am studying a bachelor of laws and so far have received fairly good marks.

However I know quite a few people who were homeschooled their entire lives who have had difficulty adjusting. By never being in a class-room environment before, they have problems sitting through the lectures. They also do not always have the social skills to cope at uni.
