How do I get over the fear of having to meet new people in college?

I am very committed to the close friends that I currently have, and I’m really scared about having to start all over with that. I don’t know how to start conversations with new people or how to make sure I don’t just lock myself away and not talk to anyone... tips? #friends

Why does it matter what college you go to?

If we are getting the same degree in different colleges, whats the point of going to a state college rather than an Ivy League college? #college #career-decisions
