We'll my background is bipolar with anxiety. I may or may not attend this college because I've been hearing a lot of bad crime ie assault, sexual assault happens frequently around the perimeter of the campus and even sometimes on it. I dug myself into an anxiety hole that's telling me I'm not going to be safe, something may happen to me, what if I was really busy studying and stressed with finals on top of that deal with safety issues with the school. Also I am a girl. My mom forced me to go twice with her to make me feel less scared, we'll so far not too scared anymore, but still have anxiety over having to go there on a regular basis. Recently uped my meds and got some anti anxiety medicine that is helping some. I have about a week to kinda of make a decision because I have a counseling appointment then and I have to go alone which is making me a little scared. Should I wait a few more days to decide I want to go? Or should I just feel an sense of keeping my guard up and bring some pepper spray. Crime happens often, but the times I was there, it was only friendly looking students walking around. I'm not that great at making friends so I'm worried about being singled out as well. They have a police escort service that can walk me from my classroom to bus stop or parking place so that's one way to calm my nerves. My anxiety over this has steadily went down, so I feel like I may be able to go to this school. I'm kind of excited over the major , it seems like a lot of fun but a lot of hard work, that will also take my mind off the crime and feelings of being attacked anywhere at any time minus in the class. Thanks


all in all should I even go to this school? Or wait a year for another college that I'm sure will add me, that researched has a heavy police duty you can see them everywhere on campus.
