题目说的是, the university lecture halls are totally different from the small concert venues (small classroom which is friendly) because of the number of attendance, and this difference is necessary (is incumbent/behooves) for incoming freshmen--they have spent too much time in a friendly space to study, and now they should adapt to the unfriendly environment (the lecture hall) with people who they don't know each other.
