College Fears with Allergies

I just started my junior year of high school, and I’m starting to feel anxious about the importance of this year. College is approaching and I am managing challenging coursework, preparing for the SAT, and curating a list of colleges I want to visit. I am excited to meet new people and live on my own. However, my excitement sometimes gets replaced with worry. How will I find a roommate who won’t bring nuts into the room? Will other kids think I'm dramatic or being difficult? How will i fit in when people want to have fun and I need have a serious conversation about my severe nut allergy? Who will be tolerant and sympathetic to the fact that I can’t be near nuts and sometimes faint from the panic I experience when they are present? How can I prove I am a normal teen, when my allergy and the anxiety I have about it make me different?

I’m writing this in hopes that others may have suggestions or relate. For kids with severe food allergies or other medical situations that require caution and accommodations, is there a way to feel both safe and normal when you go to college? How did you find a roommate or friends who were supportive?
