Just have safety measures in place and don't let others peer pressure you into drinking or drugs or even unprotected sex. You may think that all college students are grown up enough to understand this fact even sighted ones however, peer pressure still happens and i think is still even more rapidly used in a college setting than a high school setting as kids are starting to become adults. Just my two cents again.

Don't want to say anything that would make anybody uncomfortable. So if you wish to talk so freak to give a call or let start shooting text messages back and forth.

Don't be afraid to try things that catch your attention, but don't let the balances fall too far to one side either.  Whether it is academics or social. To focus solely on academics is going to leave you missing a lot of learning opportunities that don't come in the classroom.
