A question for everyone here who is from the United States: What is campus life like there ?

#1
I'm asking out of curiosity and need to know.
I am 23 years old,and personally I have not been able to enjoy my school life as I should have. I wasn't bullied or anything like that . The reasons for this were various problems caused by my Asperger's syndrome. I was sad about it for a while, but thanks to the encouragement of my family and therapists, I'm now in good spirits. I know I'm in the prime of my youth and I have plenty of time and opportunities ahead of me to make up for it.
I recently started a course to fully master English as my second language,and I have enrolled in a technical course that will start in February next year. I intend to graduate from college and university here in my city,and if by then I have fully mastered English,I want to do an exchange program in the United States.
I want to graduate from another college and university there, and eventually move there when I move out of my parents's house.
So I want to know in advance what life is like in these study environments in the United States. No one better to tell me this than the people who are native there.
How would you describe college and university life based on your own experiences ? Are they good environments to learn, socialize,find yourself and grow as a person ?
How autism-friendly is the United States as a country ? Is society there kind and supportive of people like me ? Has anyone here ever met an autistic person in high school, college or university ? If so,how were they treated there ?

Well i personally never been to a college campus, but like most things in life someone else's experience, won't be the same as yours long as you find the right group of friends and ignore the haters you'll be good

Autism isn't really look down on that much these days tbh at least not that I've noticed, but there's always gonna be that one guy who didn't catch up with the times and spread hatred just for the sake of hatred

college is typically when folks are a bit more mature socially to navigate conversations and with different people, I think you would find the overwhelming majority in most college campuses here wouldnt mind . you can have a great social life if you are willing to push for it .

I'm not American so I can't help you with that, but it seems like you mastered your English just fine. :optimistic:

I went to college in the city, so I never really got that college town experience most people associate with going to school in America. I just went to class, hung out with friends, studied, rinse and repeat. I never lived in a dorm tho, so I was never completely immersed in campus life.

As for your other questions about your condition, I think you’d have to focus on what school is right for you based on their policies and support programs for people that are on the spectrum. Bear in mind that private education in the US is extremely expensive, expect to pay no less than 12k per semester.
