Most people who go to college thinkings its all parties and sex are sadly mistaken.

While some schools are easy and some beginner classes can be easy too, the pattern generally seems to be that the ones who party from day 1 usually flunk out or drop out very quickly.

true, which is why i recommend taking few hrs (no more than 12) and make them EASY classes that are required of you (ie- your electives; sociology; microeconomics etc) for your freshman year.

I have known, myself included, many people who party a lot and have really good grades (3.8 gpa +) but that may be misleading b/c we are all very smart. As long as you manage your time well you should be ok but its easier said then done

correct, but when you first start out (freshman year) the social circles for freshman are basically non existant (unelss the people already knew eachother) so its really easy to meet new people starting out (b/c they dont know anyone and are happy to meet someone)... but if youre some dork they will stop hanging out with you lol

Yeah, this is also true. The first 2 weeks of school, just talk to everyone and figure out who the other cool guys are. Get to know them and go out to parties with them.

Another key difference between social groups in high school and college: in HS, it was always the popular kids vs. everyone else. The "cool kids" always antagonized the goths, nerds, etc. In college on the other hand, the popular groups pretty much ignore the "losers" completely and instead compete against each other. Like frats compete against each other for pledges, girls, etc. The nerds, artsy kids, and everyone else are left to themselves and form their own social hierarchies. This is why you hear the unpopular kids in HS talk about how they can't wait to get to college where things are different...Well, things aren't really that different, they just don't get harassed on a daily basis.

I'd go as far to say that in college, social proof determines more than any other single factor whether or not you're getting laid.

I had zero friends and zero acquaintances and the hot girls were coming to me in classes and in the hallways.

Although it was community college, there was still social circles.

Yeah, but I'm guessing there were no dorms, on-campus housing, fraternities, sororities...That's a totally different game.
