Need help..walking on to xc in college?

You will be fine. The biggest thing it to go into the season with a good base so you can run with the team and not get injured. If you are transferring right away (like spring semester you'll be at the new school) I would say to just go on a few good runs before you start practices with the team. I ran for a Division 3 school and it was awesome. Serious, because it was a college varsity sport, but not super stressful and intense like at a D1 school. I loved it and even though I'd ran in high school I got much better in college. My best friend on the team walked on her freshman year and she had never ran competitively, she'd played soccer in high school. She had a great time, too. In terms of what it's actually like, we ran as a team six days a week in the on-season. We had meets most Saturdays, some were casual meets against two other schools, some were big meets where there'd be a lot of girls in the race. The top seven girls score points for the team. Sunday we were on our own to run, but friends would meet up and run, especially if we lived together. I ran about 30-50 miles per week, running more in the middle of the season. I always came into the season in good shape after the summer or whatever, it made it so much easier and allowed me to be more competitive. I got very close to my coach and still keep in touch with him even though I've been out of college for 7 years, haha. I'm still very close friends with the girl I mentioned who walked onto the team (her and her new baby and coming to visit me in a couple weeks) and other girls I ran with. I also liked all the guys on the team, one became my boyfriend for two years and we're still friends. You will have a great time and it will turn you into a runner for life!
