When I started at a small college I was pulling in straight A's. When I transferred to a large university I crashed and burned and my marks plummetted and it upset me greatly. It wasn't until I took a few minutes to chat about deadlines with some friends my roomate had invited over (they started the conversation) that I felt better. I learned that a lot of people in the same year as me were having similar problems and could readily sympathize, and I found out that I was actually doing relatively well. It was a great relief to me and helped me settle better while I finished my degree.
