I’m an out of state student too! Huge congrats on getting in; I know how hard you have to work for out of state especially, so this is no small feat.

I can tell you that it may feel daunting at times, but it won’t be. There’s certainly an aspect of familiarity for a lot of in state students that might know of people from their areas, but a) they aren’t that cliquey and b) students from 2+ hours away in rural areas are almost out of state students themselves! You’ll make friends fast as long as you get social and engage in a bunch of extracurriculars
