You mention a mental illness but you are not specific. It sounds like it doesn't interfere with your ability to interact with teachers and fellow students in a normal university environment. So what is the problem?
I suffer from bipolar disorder, OCD and psychosis. OCD causes me to take twice as much time to do things, due to which I'm a part time student. And since I'm a part time student, it isn't easy to befriend other (full time) students as they move more quickly than I do.
