I'm starting college soon and I'm staying at a community college for one year to start off and save money then I'm transferring to a nearby university. But my friends are so excited to get away and live in a dorm and everything and they tell me that we will see each other all the time and I will visit them and they will always be home -- and I'm happy that they are excited.. they tell me that when I transfer to go to a school to get a dorm but [personally I don't want a dorm..] but anyway, I'm just scared that my friends will just go off to college and forget about me. I want them to have their own experience of college and make lots of new friends .. I'm just worried that I won't see them for a long time.. or ever again..

I'm starting college too! I'm going out of state and no one else that I know is going to my college and I only know of a few that are even going out of state. I would recommend a dorm when you transfer just because everything that will be happening will be centered around the college and the further you are from campus the further you are from the actual college life. But back to your friends, if you are willing to make the effort and they are willing to make the effort, there is no reason why you couldn't see each other on a fairly regular basis. One of my best friends is going to college across country and we are already trying to make plans to see each other over christmas break and we are going to keep in touch and try to talk as often as we did at home. Sure it won't be the same but as long as everyone is willing to make the effort then there should be no problem.

The really good friends won't forget about you. I'm in my 50s and I still have friends from high school and even middle school with whom I stay in touch. The nature of the friendship may change - you won't be seeing them all the time, and you won't be able to share with them the things that happen on a daily basis - but the feelings don't. Some of your friends, though, may change a lot (or you may) at this stage in their lives, and you may lose track of some. Overall, though, most of my students still maintain at least a few of their old friendships.

College is about finding new things, rebuilding yourself to a new person. I was like that to, my friends ended up being party animals and drunks and I'm glad I'm not like that. Don't worry you will keep in touch with each other if it's meant to be, but soon enough you will make new friends in college, friends that are in the same career field as you that will help and be there when you need them.

You'll see them again. And while you're in college you'll even make new friends and your worrisome frame of mind will slowly go away.
I saw very few people when I finally made it back home after 10 years. But it didn't really matter to me because I am married and my family is more important.
