So it's almost been a week now. How is it going?
I hope you're doing alright. I remember the the first few weeks were difficult for me.

Also, having your own bathroom is AWESOME. If I'd had to share a bathroom with loads of people, I would've gotten used to it eventually, but I would've hated it!

so far only 2 over people have moved into my hall so not bad. I'm enjoying living on my own. Its nice to have this kind of level of autonomy.

Ah that's good I'm glad you're enjoying it. The autonomy is definitely a plus.

It's strange that the people are slowly trickling in though, but that's probably nicer. When I moved into halls, I was one of the last ones to move into my flat and it made me feel very nervous. Everyone had already packed their stuff away more or less and some had spoken to each other on facebook (I hadn't bothered with trying to find people on facebook.)

I don't even have facebook.

I was quite puzzeled by the lack of people as well, but i'm not complaining, I really dislike introductions.

Ok, I don't know very well what you should do to have a good Uni life, but I know what you shouldn't do.

Do not skip classes. (Unless you're sick, of course!) With nobody to tell you to get your ass to school (a.k.a. parents) you have to be strict with yourself. Once you get used to skipping, it's really difficult to start attending again, you'd need a lot of willpower... so it's better not to skip to begin with.
And try to develop some kind of studying routine - how many hours of study per week, and when. It's a bit scary when work piles up.
Also take your time to adjust... when I entered college last year, I thought: "I'm going to start over! Completely! From NOW!", so I ended up putting myself under some sort of unnecessary stress. One step at a time...

Anyway, private bathrooms are awesome!
