I was homeschooled up until college. I was part of a non-religious (maybe vaguely pagan) homeschooler community. I eased into college by taking a couple courses per semester at my local community college for two years around the end of high school, and also some online AP courses from my local school district. Overall I am happy with my experience. I had an abundance of time to pursue my own interests (e.g. reading, programming), since I only did ~1 hour of dedicated schoolwork per day. Among my peers, I ended up probably in the top 10% academically (close to straight As in college) and bottom 10% socially (I kept my homeschooler friends, but don't feel like I could call any of my college acquaintances "friends"). To this day I struggle with being comfortable and non-awkward around strangers and acquaintances, but I feel like I'm improving.

Happy to share more anecdotes if people have questions.
