I shouldn't have been in college at 18.

I had no idea how to emotionally cope with the experience, either socially or academically, and it was the worst five years of my life, bar none because of that. I still have nightmares about it on a regular basis. The only bright side was that it was free.

I think that emotional maturity has more to do with it than anything else.

If you can't cope and adjust, you shouldn't be there.
