Hi girls! 🌸 I’m here to ask for some advice about something I’ve been feeling lately. I’m an international student, and I did my undergrad at an all-girls college. It was such a safe and comfortable environment for me, and I really grew used to that sense of ease. Now, I’m about to start grad school at a co-ed university, and I’ve been feeling unexpectedly anxious about the transition. There’s no specific incident or bad experience behind it. I think I’m just scared of losing that feeling of safety and comfort I had before. At the same time, the program is a great fit for my research goals and I was even offered a scholarship, so academically it makes a lot of sense. Has anyone else felt nervous moving from an all-women environment into a co-ed one? Did the anxiety fade over time? Any advice or personal experiences would really mean a lot. Thank you 💛 submitted by /u/blopeeee_324
