1. Be yourself when meeting new people. The first few weeks on campus can be a lonely period. You may have concerns about forming friendships. While it may seem like everyone else is self-confident and socially successful, the reality is that others are having the same concerns.
2. Meaningful relationships don’t happen overnight. Over time, college friendships have the potential to become lifelong friendships. As you have more and more experiences with new friends, communication will become more open and trust will build.
3. New college students may feel like they are on an emotional roller coaster. Increased personal freedom can be both wonderful and overwhelming. You may experience a mixture of reactions to this experience. These feelings are normal and to be expected.
