high school and university/college life is totally different!!! theres a lot more choices, freedom and experiences. but along with it comes a lot more responsibility. you have to put what you know and learned from high school into your college life. study the way that works for you if its reviewing notes unitl its burnt into your mind or meeting daily witha a study group. since your moving to a campus where you dont know anyone beforehand, it would be great to join a club. most universities have club rush or a club fair in which clubs on campus are trying to recruit new members. clubs can range from hobbies (surfing, knitting, etc) to cultural to the frats and sorities and international orgainzations. here you'll meet people with the same ideals and interests as you. also do be afriad to come up to people. you'll never know if you guys can be friends if you don't say anything. if youre a shy person, college is the time to break out of your shell because no one's gonna hold your hand through the whole process. joining a club will give you the possibility in meeting upperclassmen who can help you with all the things dealing with campus life from where things are and upcoming events. i joined a club my freshmen year of college and i met a lot of people who now are my really close friends and with their help i became homecoming queen of my school. yeah it was nerve wracking at first, but you realize that they're just people too.
hope i helped and good luck!

Yes, college life is very different from high school. There will be a lot of changes happening for you and the university has many departments in place to prepare freshmen from the transition to high school to college. If you are living on campus, get to know your RA. This person lives on the same floor as you and is trained to know all about the resources on campus. It will definately be a little scary in the beginning, but getting out there and being you will help you to make friends and join organizations on campus.

First let me say congratulations. A university is not completely different form high school. The sudents a bit more mature. Professors are more demanding in terms of tests and school work. It's not difficult to make friends. Just be yourself. It just takes time. Good luck to you.

I didn't know anyone when I started college, but now, 6 years later, I'm still best friends with the guys I met there. College is whatever you make it. You can get drunk, sleep around, skip class, and fail out....or you can make good, quality friends, study together, play sports, and get a good education. It's pretty much just like what you see in the movies.

college is very different from high school; if you are living in a dorm take advantage of the social activities they usually provide (at no cost) during the semester; they Are usually a little lame, but at least you'd meet some people- network; also check into clubs and groups on campus; find one that interests you, check it out (visit) and join if you like it; again, it will help you meet more people

Yo has it right.
Don't worry! You will make friends easily - freshman usually recognize each other as being in the same boat ! You will have a great time & I hope, learn useful things along the way.
Good Luck!

existence is what you're making of it. do exactly what you opt to do and in case you do not yet know what you opt to do than ask your self, what can i do, how can i help myself and get a physically powerful interest, a warm spouse, etc? when you your self discover that answer than you will get on the right track in direction of your purpose. And yeah...i'm in basic terms 17 so i don't know how plenty help it quite is pondering you're older and that i'm attempting to grant you suggestion in what to d with your existence yet do exactly what you opt to do.
