Living on a College Campus

I went to a community college for 3.5 years which was only 10 min away from my house and finally received my AA. I have ADD Non-Verbal Learning, executive dysfunctional, slow processing and some other minor learning disabilities. My time management skills are very poor and I have horrible anxiety with school. I now go to a school a half an hour away and managing my time to drive all the way there 5 days and a week and leave time for parking and any studying time at the college is very hard for me and I am only in my 2nd semester. My first semester I had to drop 2 out of 4 classes and I still did not do well in the 2 I kept.

I want to know from anyone who is like me and went to college with these disabilities if it would make a major change for me to live on campus, that way since the most important thing I need to focus on now is school I will basically live there and if I work anywhere else I will only have to drive there and such.

I went to community college for three years as well and then transferred to a state school. I think it was a lot easier for me to live on campus especially if there is a small amount of students located on campus. The other thing I recommend is when you are making your schedule go with classes during the time of days that are your strength. For instance, I started classes earlier in the morning because the later it got it was harder for me to concentrate. Also, speak with your advisers, they will help you make your schedule and especially when there are more difficult classes. Another thing I did was I set a schedule for myself for studying and etc. I would designate 5-8 or 6-9 just for studying and I would not go out until what needed to be done was done. Use a planner and make sure you set yourself up for tutoring. Also, there has to be an office in which you can register for accommodations at school. Hopefully this helps.
