Do you make friends easily in college?

<p>i wanted to go to UCSD cause most of my friends are going there. i wanted people that i know so i won feel as alone.
However, i was rejected from UCSD but i was accepted to UCSB.
im planning to live in a dorm.
my question is if its easy to make friends in college.</p>

<p>can you please share some experiences whether they are good or bad?
thanks</p>

<p>My experience is that if you are friendly and outgoing, you’ll have no problem making many acquaintances in college.</p>

<p>Absolutely, dorms are built for meeting people; they have common study lounges, socials, etc. The rooms in my dorm connected to the main hallway and an open door was an invitation for a conversation. There are also student groups with invitation events for the first month or so.</p>

<p>I heard that as long as you’re not openly rude to others, making friends in college is a sinch. This is because everyone in college is also afraid that they may end up with no friends.</p>

<p>I would love to stay tune for more replies. I’m in high school right now and I’m having trouble finding a clique in my junior year.</p>

<p>You will be fine, buddy. Honestly, the more complex question is once you make your friends, when will you let your high school friends go?</p>

<p>Are freshman college students all that much different from high schoolers? (interests, what they like to talk about, etc)</p>

<p>Because I don’t really “fit in” at my school although many people say that I have good wit and humor. My parents tell me that the reason I don’t have a clique is because I moved to my school a little late and not because of my personality…</p>
