Hi,

I posted a thread a few days ago about accepting a Psychology course.
Well, i have a new problem...

My friend who was supposed to be starting college with me isnt anymore.
She has decided due to financial difficulties she will begin next year in a
different college. I have social anxiety & erythrophobia, which is a fear of
blushing. As i have mentioned else-where, it goes beyond a fear, i can
blush at the drop of a hat. My friend knows of my anxiety and depression
and her support will be missed greatly if i choose to go ahead with this.

The college that i got accepted into is small. I wanted to be accepted
into a course where the class size was large, so that i could blend into the
backround and hide. The one i got accepted into, its small and the class
sizes are small. This will make it difficult VERY for me. I completed 3years
- just about - in a different crappy college. The class sizes there were
tiny and in my first year i nearly became agrophobic due to college.

Now my options are: dont do it this year, apply again next year and hope i
get accepted into a different college. Or see what this college classrooms
will be like regardless of my MH. Now please, erythrophobia is VERY
difficult to deal with, please keep that in mind of how i nearly became
agrophobic before due to college.

Any advice much apprichated? Or what would you do faced with this
dilema?

Tnx for reading

PS. the college is a private college, which i only found out after i was
accepted. The fees are over 2500 higher then what id pay if in a different
college - just to keep that in mind too - but still, money is not the
problem, but yet its kinda sickening handing over the extra money...

I'm sorry, I can't give you any advice on that. The class sizes here are very large. A small class was 40 people and most of my classes had about 70 people. Classes with people from muliple disciplines were beyond huge; my chemistry class was about 250 people. While I too like blending into the crowd I've found that smaller classes are much more beneficial to learning.
