At my orientation there was even kind of a seminar on diversity and they talked about LGBT stuff.

College is a lot of fun because you can do what you want to, when you want. You meet so many new people. That has to be my favorite part. I'm sure everything will go great for you. Enjoy the experience! fozmeadows said it perfectly. College is a lot of fun because you can do what you want to, when you want. You meet so many new people. That has to be my favorite part.

Getting to uni is the realisation that neither of these problems has to apply anymore - they still can, of course, if you pick your friends solely on the basis of how close their room is to yours and feel obligated to slog through uninteresting subjects, but these are now optional limitations. And all by itself, once you get there and hang out for a day or week or so, the fact of this changes you. Or, conversely, lets you be yourself. There's no rush, and unlike at school, the vast majority of people are there to do their own thing in their own time, or to figure out what their own thing is. Result - a whole lotta fun. :) What sucks about highschool is the fact that arbitrary rules dictate your behaviour, and that proximity dictates your friends (some of them, anyway).
