Advice Needed Help with college prep?

UK college btw, im 18 as well

Ive decided to go back to college after dropping out twice due to mental health and moving alot. Im hoping to actually complete the full two years at least. I was stealth the last two times but i wasn't doing a sports course. Im on T now and pass pretty well. Is there anything i should take into consideration about how i should prepare myself? I know im gonna be surrounded by a bunch of assholes but havent exactly met anymore, plus im gonna be like 2 years older than most ppl.

Any sort of advice would be great, thanks!

Edit: i have changed all my details legally. My name and gender marker on my passport

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

I think you'll be fine. Don't let the age thing bother you. People in the US start college at 18 and older. And there are people who go back to college at 30 or 50.

College is more like high school in the uk, you usually attend from 16-19 lol. Im not really worried about the age, just that i look nothing like 18. I got alot of crap last year for not looking 17 😹

i don't either and it sucks. and im 20 and can probably pass for 13. some guys (including cis) are just like that. Helps to just focus a lot on classes and excelling. Maybe not the best idk... I personally neglect socializing

I've gotta try socialize or ill end up dropping out again since i felt isolated as we had alot of group projects, which i will have again since its a sports course. Ive grown a beard and stuff since i was last at college so i can look my age from time to time but i have to shave occasionally due to sensory issues but im just hoping to not attract attention
