You'll have plenty of time to adjust. The time's gonna pass no matter what you do, might as well make it happy...! I remember when I was a freshman, it was more difficult to acclimate to the scene because I lived off-campus -- well, actually, I still do -- but the beginning of the fall semester is always bustling with new activities. Does VT have club fairs set up? Orientation days? Some pomp and circumstance to help incoming freshmen? Campus- or club-sponsored activities are a great way to branch out. There are also sororities and service fraternities available, I'd think.

I'm not sure if you've already looked at it/have your major in mind, but pouring over your course catalog is a great way to get a feeling for outlining future semester coursework and planning how to spend your next four/five/six college years.

I've been in the college game for three years now, and because of my transfer, I'll be at it for another two and a half to three (oh boy...). So, trust me. It gets easier. And faster. And you'll start wondering... "Where did the time go?" And, eventually, "What's this diploma doing in my hand?!" XD
