| I'd say either move in with your parents or find friends in whatever dorm building you live in, having a few of them that can be understanding might help you cope with specific issues or at least give you a sounding board. |

| Varies, just don't assume something bad about not having eye contact or call them on it unless you absolutely need their eye contact for something. Don't assume they aren't paying attention for lack of eye contact. |

| CD or mp3 player is a good idea, unless its somewhere where you are utterly expected to engage with other people then it wouldn't be rude to do shopping, for example, while listening to music at least until you got to the check out. |
