First, I hope it helps you if you realize there are a lot of other students like you, so you are not alone… College is an entirely new environment and a lot of students who had a hard time socializing in high school find it much easier in college…. It’s a new start for everyone. My daughter is also a very quiet person – when she was a freshmen, I suggested that she choose one of the eight person suites (she was in the honors dorm at Sutherland) so that she can immediately meet 7 other people. I was worried for her just like you are somewhat worried. But, this worked out perfectly for her… all 8 of them are still friends and are now all renting an apartment together in Oakland. And you also end up meeting more people through your roommates, and in your dorm, classes and clubs. In a big school, there are a lot of different types of people and a lot of different things to do and to join.

Second - regarding the implication that the residents in the honors dorm are partiers – my daughter is now a junior and still hangs out with a lot of people she met in her honors dorm AND THEY DO NOT DRINK OR DO DRUGS – they go to movies, bbq, walk in Shenley Park, go to a lot a sporting events both at school and professional teams, do pittarts, etc. etc.

I wish you luck Mr. “Roflspammer”
