#137: 9 Challenges for Introverts to Consider if Heading to University [Podcast]

August 18, 2015

Welcome to Episode 137 of the Sheep Dressed Like Wolves Podcast. In this episode I look back at my time at university and explore some of the challenges that introverts and highly sensitive people might experience in higher education.

I wanted to talk through some of the challenges that introverts in particular might face when going off to college or university. Maybe you are going soon, in which case this should give you some permissions and things to think about before you get there.

Or maybe someone you know is going soon. In that case, this might help you prepare THEM.

My aim is to help you see that the experience is not the same for everyone, that the concept of 'being a student' isn't one that we all embrace equally, but that you also have tools at your disposal to make the absolute best of it.
