Literally give it a week or two. Most people at orientation are kinda new and a little nervous about seeing their future classmates for the first time. I remember my orientation was actually pretty good cause I met and formed this group of friends and we just went around campus all day. However, I did notice some people were kinda sticking to themselves.

Then…everyone moves in. Students start to realize that they are finally in college and that they are independent, so they just let loose socially. Your college might throw a dance, your RA might hold some bonding time for your floor, and basically that whole week is created so you guys can interact with each other.

The most important things are to not have high expectations of college or to keep yourself confined. Otherwise you might be missing out on a lot of fun. Just relax, make some friends, and you’ll always have a great time.
