<p>It looks like I might have to enroll into college for spring 2008, rather than fall 2007. Has anyone gone through this or known someone who did. Was it an easy transition, or did it just about ruin the rest of your college year(s).</p>
<p>I might be doing the same actually, if i wont be accepted to any for autumn term.</p>
<p>You might want to try Brandeis posts from about a year ago. Brandeis offers some acceptances to start mid year. The posts from last March or so have some discussion about starting then, including one that cites two Brandeis newpaper articles, one pro and one con.</p>
<p>you could do this, but why? When frosh show up in the fall, everyone is nervous about college and know few if any people on campus. So people are really open to making new friends, plus there's the bonding that happens as you go thru a shared experience of adjusting to college. If you show up 2nd semester then you're going thru this at a time when others have already formed groups of friends and learned the ropes. It's not impossible, of course, but without a strong reason I'd recommend either starting in the fall after HS or taking a gap year.</p>
<p>I know a lot of spring admits, they're doing just fine. Makes almost no difference.</p>
<p>Any else comments?</p>
<p>You won't adapt as easily socially but academically you should be fine. It is not like high school.</p>
<p>as it was said, your main problems will be social, not academic. academically, you'd be fine. At most, it might make you take an extra semester (i.e, the full 4 yrs because you started late..so you end a semester late as well). socially, as it's been said, you miss out on orientation and any freshmen community-building, so you may feel like a transfer, and transfers tend to miss out on a lot of the college social experience for this reason....</p>
<p>Yes when you walk up to people and tell them you enrolled for spring instead of fall they will run away from you screaming. Nobody will ever talk to you because everybody in that school will know you weren't there during the fall.</p>
<p>Seriously though nobody will care.</p>
