1. i was friends w/ my roommate since 9th grade... so it was very easy to get along w/ him... i think in most cases males are more cooler being roommates, than two females... i've known many females who were friends in HS, but became enemies while being roommates for 9 months, and then being friends again... but i think if you keep the communication lines open, you will be fine... communication with your roommate is a key!!!!
2. always have a computer... your life will revolve around a computer... doing papers, and projects, and web assignments... you don't want to make trips to the school library every night.... and an adequate supply of cleaning items for your room, and hygienal products as well...you wanna keep the room presentable (at least on your side) for company and when parents drop to visit
3. college and high school are two different ballgames in terms of academics... some professors will just leave you hanging, and others are willing to work with you... but if you don't communicate w/ your professor, you won't be able to get a higher grade... always show up for class, and you may get lucky and get a professor who will give you a higher grade, just for attending class... they basically are saying "it's your money, either prove your worth by showing up, or waste it by being absent"... the social setting is somewhat the same... but like Tippy said, it's all about who you surround yourself with... just be yourself in both the academic and social setting, and you'll be fine
