I'm going into my second year so yeah I went through it all last year!
Like the other two have said don't be afraid to talk to people. It doesn't matter if they look like someone you would never be friends with, everyone will be nervous together.
Going to lectures is the main thing obviously since you're paying for the lecturers time. Don't be afraid to ask if you don't understand. If you're in a big lecture there are bound to be at least one other person that doesn't understand. Also most unis have the notes and powerpoints online after the lectures. It's also helpful to go through them again and make sure you have made enough notes.
I say get involved with either a sports team, a society or how the student union is run. I'm hopefully going to be going onto the events committee at my uni and that way you and other people can have a say in how things are run plus you can do something good for yourself and cv.
If you're in halls talk to everyone in your flat especially the ones around you because if they're or you're being noisy then no one will be scared to tell you to be quiet.
Also don't forget to relaxxx, everyone is the same as you and will be feeling the same!
There are loads more to add but I think some things should be left to discovery of your own.
