Advice to an admitted student?

Hi all!
I was lucky to be named a Monroe Scholar and accepted earlier this month. I found out about financial aid, which was my big worry, on Friday, and was even more lucky to be offered a generous award. I am thrilled and excited and more than a bit nervous. Could any students answer some questions about stuff that may not have been clear during the application process?

1. What are the students like? Are they generally friendly and open, or it is very cliqueish?

2. Does Greek life dominate campus? I don’t have issues with having a good time, but do parties and drinking make or break you?

3. How easy did you find it to make friends and establish yourself socially?
