5.as you are unpacking,leave your door open lt is a great way for other new people on your floor to say hello as they are passing, or to wander in and offer you a cuppa if they have already unpacked
6.stick a sign on your door with your name a tempting slogan such as "Come in and say hi,i hav chocolate" Doing this will mak you friendly and approachable,and unless you are fibbing about the chocolate,you will have some happy housemats in your dorm room latr on.
7.Once you have unpacked and you have said your goodbyes ( don't worry, it will be hard for some...just remember you will see them soon )have a wander around your floor and say hello to a few other new peopple,or head to the communal area (often the kitchen,a basement,a common room)if a few people have begun to gather there.
8.This is when you can begin to get to know your new housemates,and lots of introductions and chatting will ensue
9.The rest of the day is really up to you, and depends on what your campus has organized or what you all fancy doing. Often the greatest first night is just exploring the campus and surrounding area,and grabbing a few drinks at a college bar.
