I'll be back in like an hour if it's still a thing.

​Exactly this. Colleges require dorms for the first year or so for good reason. Get to know as many people as soon as possible. First day or so, introduce yourself to anyone and everyone. Everyone's in the same boat as you. Eventually people will stick, and you'll have a group of friends. Even if it's just one person. Rule of thumb, for the first week, do nothing alone. If you're going for food, invite your roomates. If their going out, ask where- they may invite you. Make nice with your roommates. You are literally living next to them for the rest of the year. Although it's awesome that you can now sit on your computer all day and play videogames- don't. (There's plenty of time while everyone's in class or at night. You'll find time.) Go out, find some people to hang out with. 
 
Clubs are also an option, but honestly, I haven't stuck with anyone I met at clubs. They're a nice weekly thing, but tend to stay that way in my experience.

You notice each and every one of those things is a switch to turn it off, right?
From an IT/Software standpoint, it makes sense. 
1) Non-disableable updates: If everyone has the same version of the software, you can plug security leaks across every device as soon as possible. No "legacy" vulnerabilities. How many times have I had to update a relative's computer for 5 hours of downloading patches? 
2) Data collection. Software thrives on data. People are different, and it's not like the software will "magically" know when to set an appointment, or what search results are most relevant. It's a bit invasive, sure, but its necessary for the service it provides. If you don't want the service, then turn the data off.
3) Wifi sense is stupid but useful on rare occasions.
4) Device diagnostics. Oh no! They know what temperature you're CPU was at when the system crashed! And what the OS was doing then! That means they can steal your identity, right? No, it means they can patch a bug in the code. They've been doing this for years, but now they'll have data from every time it happens, instead of the handfull of times someone actually clicks "send report."
5) They included auto correct built into the operating system! The gaul!
 
If you still really want to go off the grid anyway, there's a way.
