I don't know what the deal is, but I've heard a few offhand remarks from people talking about how their amazing LD success screeched to a halt when they entered into College Life. Since I have no LD success to begin with and since I'm moving into a dorm in a month, am I pretty much downright buggered? What causes your LD frustrations in college - is it the workload, the booze or drugs, your roommate, the other occupants, or just the change of setting?

I'm coming in with 26 credit hours from AP so I'm probably taking a 13-hour schedule at least to begin with so workload shouldn't be a problem, I'm essentially straightedge but without the bad music taste that usually entails so booze (at least in my system) shouldn't be an issue, my roommate is a mild-mannered music major, and my dorm only has three floors and ~200 occupants so it doesn't seem like other people would interfere with my nocturnal habits too poorly.

Is there some quintessential college factor I'm forgetting that's bound to damn my efforts to hell? If any of you have made the transition (and it seems like half the population here is 17 and another fourth is even younger so maybe that's not many of you after all) I'd love to hear your experiences.

UGA, if any y'all interested.
