Two years after concussion.
 
Sometimes I feel like my brain is swollen. Some head pains. Can I start college?

Many of us have learned to go on with life despite symptoms that come and go. Learning how to manage life through our times of high symptoms is important. A moderated college life would be best.

Do it bit by bit. Don't undertake more courses than you can handle. All colleges should have an accommodation policy for students with special needs. Start slowly. Follow your dreams.
Good luck!

I was in the middle of college when I got injured and I just graduated.


Try it...see how it goes. Start with one class.

My biggest issue was not being able to multi-task and with a very awesome husband, I used this facet of my injury to my advantage because I could focus on one thing (eventually) and that was my class. My class was online so I could choose a time (within reason) that I felt up to doing it.
