Hahah, sure, locking your door = good

Not that I ever did...

Anyways, I'm going to reiterate my advice that the best thing to do is to get very involved, academically, extra curricularly, and socially. Meet your profs, get to know some deans, get involved in clubs, meet your neighbors, etc.

It is hard to be a transfer, but there are a lot of things you can do to make it easier. I joined rugby and Zete (one of the co-ed frats -- a very nontraditional frat...more of an anti-frat than a frat, really) and met all my frosh neighbors, which in addition to meeting all the transfers, really helped socially. I also have a dean that I see regularly, and got to know some professors. All that will help you out a lot!

It's kind of like freshman year all over again, but you need to take more initiative to create things for yourself.
