Moving away from your hometown and going to college give you a really cool opportunity: You basically get a fresh start on your social identity. You can choose who you want to be. You will discover that all the petty bullshit that was so important to everyone in high school goes away.
Whether you decide to live in the dorms or move into a house with some people, try to meet as many people as possible. Lots of interaction will probably help your self-consciousness. It did for me at least. I was extremely shy coming into college, now four years in, I can't spend five minutes on campus without running into someone I know.
