I'm happy for you, many people (including me) find reasons for not taking that leap, & regret it later. As far as freshman go....I worked on college campuses for 12 years, & got so tired of holding the hands of those babies. "Didn't you read the instructions?" "No, my mom just told me to....(insert action)". You're a grownup now, you need to do for yourself. You've got a huge jump on those kids, you have a level head & won't have to depend on anyone else to do the right thing. You're going to be great!
