How was you first year at college?

Question

Me & my friends just started our first year at college. While some are having a great time and adjusting well, most of my friends are having a really hard time adjusting to the new enviroment. They're all really homesick and told me making friends is not as easy as everyone said it would be. People have told us that making friends would be much easier, because although cliques still exist, they arent as cliquey as high school. How long did it take you to be comfortable around people and being comfortable in a new setting?

Answer 1

It's hard in the beginning...I missed home too.  Just remember most of the freshman at your school is in the same position as you.  Join a club, if you live in a dorm, go to dorm activities...ask your neighbor for a pen or something to break the ice, haha!  Just relax...everyone goes through it.

Answer 2

It was pretty easy. College is a breeze. I was comfortable within the first few days.
