I think it's totally normal to be nervous about starting college. I'm sure everyone there will be at least a little nervous. I remember when I went off to uni, there was only one other person from my high school going to the same school, so I knew I'd have to meet a lot of new people and that really scared me because I'm shy. But I joined a ton of clubs and tried out for the fencing team, and made it, and wound up having a fantasitic four years. I even wound up getting involved in student government. Get involved it's a great way to have a good college experience.

As for coming out or staying in the closet - that's your choice. Lots of schools have GLBT groups that can provide safe places to meet people and support with coming out.

Good luck, and remember that while studying is important, it's really important to have fun too.
