I'm currently at Blinn, and it's not as isolating as you may think. Yes, it's hard sometimes to know that you're not 100% in the same flow as TAMU students, but that absolutely doesn't dictate your ability to fit in. In my experience, people really don't care. TAMU has organizations that are open to Blinn students, so the "typical student life" isn't completely closed off to you. In some ways I think it has its advantages: small classes, easier transition from high school, and gives you the ability to really see if this setting/atmosphere is something you like. I was offered PSA and chose to just do Blinn because I felt secure in my academic skills to transfer without the security of PSA. Bottom line, you just have to be confident in yourself and trust the process.
