<p>In five words: it’s what you make it. Most CCs don’t have dorms and many don’t have sports teams, so you won’t have the residential aspect of it. It’s a fact of CC life.</p>
<p>With that being said, you can certainly have an active social life. Join or start clubs, get involved, participate in study groups and volunteer efforts, and be open to being friends who are from backgrounds that are much different from yours. Also, you’ll need to have a life and friends outside of school, because you will be a commuter and you’ll be living off campus.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
