| Socially, college is like HS, but bigger. There are snobs, jocks, geeks, stoners, theater kids, etc. You will find people you like and people you can't stand.
What will be different for you is not school-specific but geographical. Compared to suburban Cali, you will likely find people less friendly and more sarcastic. They will also talk faster. Do not be put off, that is just how it is, and, once you have made friends, they will be there for you for life. So, yeah, the first few week will be a big adjustment, but get yourself a Red Sox hat, don't laugh at the accents, stay positive, and you will be fine (at least until winter). |
