Get some Klonopin and Inderal to take. Also see your college's disability office and get accommodations for your exams such as write alone in a room and have more time to write the exams

Agoraphobia occurs when you fear your panic attacks cause you to not leave home without a "safe person" for a long period of time (weeks or more). The fact that you're pushing yourself through college shows that you're not agoraphobic. You may have panic disorder however, and if you don't keep pushing to go to classes and whatever else you do outside of the house, then agoraphobia may very well develop. Keep on keepin' on bro. That's all you can do.
