Best five years of my life. Seriously. It's natural to be scared. I was very introverted as an 18-year-old, but there are so many different kinds of people in a typical college/university setting, that even I had no trouble making good friends. You're there for an education, of course, but that also means experiencing things outside the classroom. If you're going to a good school, you'll find yourself discovering fascinating stuff everyday, in and out of the classroom, that you'd never discover on your own just working at some slave-wage job. I know it's a horribly corny cliche, but it really is true that college will open whole worlds for you. Go and have the time of your life.
