Is it a good idea for a male student with ADHD to go away for college as a freshman?

I am a senior in high school who is graduating this summer. I would like to go away and dorm but I was never away from my parents. I have ADHD, which at times I get impulsive and need a little help in the organization department. I would like to spread my wing and fly but I don't want to fail because of some of the weakness. I there anybody in my shoes and if so what did they do or can recommend?

Schools offer varying levels of support. The K&W Guide to Colleges for Students with Learning Differences is a great resource. University of Arizona's SALT program gets great reviews, as does Marist's Learning Support Program. If you really need more support you should look @ Landmark College in VT and Beacon College in FL. They are very hands on, and while they strictly speaking will let you fail a class or two, it is part of a process. They stress the fundamentals, and give you a solid foundation for future success. The have learning specialists to teach organization and other executive function skills. They focus on the basics to help you transition out of the home.
