<p>Remind the student that lots of kids “overdo” at the beginning as they try to fit in and find friends and explore being away from home. The whole party scene calms down within a couple of months. Plus freshmen get to meet kids in the dorm first, then in classes, then outside of classes in clubs and activities and around campus. This all takes time. It takes time to find your way freshman year. Give it at least one semester, would be my advice, esp. if you like your classes.</p>
