First thing when you come to college, a whole new experience awaits you. If you have your own room at home, that is going to change, get used to sharing four walls with someone else. Also, you probably are going to have to hit the reset button on your friends, because it is time to make new ones. For you to the have the best possible experience away you are going to have to branch out socially. You want to get to know people and be able to get "connections". When I say that, I mean you should know some people who will be able to give you knowledge of certain activities (i.e. Parties, Sports Events, etc.). Also, it is a good idea to become friends with a couple people over 21. I'm not going to tell you why, I hope you can figure it out.
