And with your room mate, two big ground rules. Any time you want it quiet and reasonably dark in the room, it's done. Anyone you don't want in the room now or ever, that gets done. It applies to you too and with no questions asked either way, and you should be all set winging it from there on out.

Oh, don't just leave your door open. Make food. Pizza, cookies, or anything that you know will spread a delicious scent down the hall. If people peek in, offer them a slice/cookie. Same thing works with a really good movie or music - think of you favorite movie/songs, that way the people you meet will be of like minds. When people show up, give them a standard greeting smile. Standard greeting smile = the kind of smile you might give someone you already know, but not so big that you freak them out. Introduce yourself and just be yourself.
Remember that you are not the only person who is nervous. Your being friendly will make other people more relaxed around you.
