What if I don't adjust to college life right away?

There are a few students who get to college and totally adjust, and they're like, "Oh yeah, man, this is my world. I feel like I've been here forever." It takes a while to adjust. There are students who are in long distance relationships and they get there and they get lonely. And they're like "I want to be with my boyfriend or girlfriend. This college sucks." Or maybe they won't get into a fraternity or sorority if they want to go Greek. Or maybe they won't get along with the people on their floor. Someone from a very urban area, going to a campus in a rural community, living on a floor where there are all people from a rural community. So the thing is, it takes time. It's normal for it to take months. It's normal for it to take years. So I always say give it at least a year and don't run. And if you know that these things are normal when you encounter them, it's like "All right. This is just part of it and what am I going to do to find my place here at school." Because if you don't have a place, you'll feel out of place and that's when you'll want to go to that only comfortable place you know. So you have to really work to find your place, which can be challenging.
