Will it be easy to make friends? Will I be able to stay with my old friends?
It may seem scary at first but everyone seems to make friends surprisingly quickly. I was very nervous, however after the first few days, I had made loads of new friends.
It's not guaranteed you will be in the same class as your old friends. My best friend and I aren't in the same class for anything however I feel I have truly benefited from that. I have made more new friends than I think I would have if I was in his class and we still get to hang out with each other at break and at lunch.
