If you share a shower room, WEAR SOME TYPE OF SHOWER SHOES. (swim socks, sandles, flip flops, etc)
DO NOT walk around barefoot. You will contract foot junk so fast in a dorm...
I have a semi-private bathroom shared with my roommate and two other douches. I will keep this in mind although I'm currently trying to change my dorm to a apartment style so I can have my own room.
I was in the same setup (I go to Mizzou, about to be in my 2nd year in a single suite with my own bathroom).
First off, if you are like me, and thought that you were going to be lonely the whole semester since even the High School "friends" you have don't want anything to do with you, don't worry, College is a magical place where friends find you. Seriously, I sat in the lounge watching the Cardinals game everyday (my roommate and I never talked, literally never talked, so I couldn't stand being in there), and eventually that led to me being friends with 6 people, and that is what a loner like me could accomplish. I even started playing my Nintendo Switch out there in the Main lounge as they just for whatever reason wanted to watch me play Breath of the Wild (and when I got MK8D, we all played that as well).
Are you a liberal, are you a conservative, doesn't matter at all, your friends will be of any variety (half and half split on the political spectrum. Funny enough, all my conservative friends are leaving, while my more liberal friends are staying, so I will be alone there).
Don't ever slow down. I made that mistake and it gave me my first B in my 2nd semester because I thought everything would be a cakewalk.
Don't be a tryhard for girls, you got a lot of years ahead.
I personally did not join any clubs, but I was Hall President!
Good luck dude, and update CE every now and then on your experience.
The school I'm going is specializes in liberal education. I guess it will be fine. But I don't care much for girls so I will be alright then, thanks for the advice. ---
