<p>Ok so I have made some friends, but they're commuters! And another two I made live in the other residential college and seem to have friends they already hang out with from that. My roommates said she has had problems making friends too but at least she has a guy she's dating. I feel like I don't really have anyone. Then there's two girls on my floor who we really like but they are in a special program so they seem to hang out with people from the program a lot. </p>
<p>I am trying to get the friends/acquaintances I have made to join clubs with me, so we'll see how that goes. But how do I make more friends and make CLOSER friends? I made new friends every year of high school, I don't know why its so hard here :(</p>
<p>Make/obtain some cookies and go around your dorm/hall and offer them to people.
Go to any dorm events you have.
Get to class early /stay late and ask someone about homework.
Have you and your roomate go on your hall and see if anyone wants to go to dinner/campus movie/campus concert
Go to your friends’ residence and hang out and meet some of those other people.
Ask those friends if they are doing anything this weekend…</p>
<p>If your friends/acquaintances won’t join clubs with you–join by yourself. The best friendships will come from shared interests and outlooks. In addition, I would make an effort to talk to the people in your classes…cultivate a genuine interest in those around you and the friendships will follow as you discover things that you have in common.</p>
<p>You have been there a month, and sounds like you are making some friends. Give it a little longer. Join clubs or activities (newspaper, theater, etc.) that interest you. Look for volunteer activities. A job on or near campus is a good way to meet people.</p>
