Finding friends as a transfer

<p>I moved in last Sunday (it's Friday now), and it's been very difficult to make friends. They put me in a transfer hall and a lot of the people here tend to be quite (keep doors shut, don't respond much when greeted, ect). There have been a few that I have been talking too, but we've never really hung out yet. Currently, the only person that I'd call myself friends with is my roommate, who I can tell is in the same situation as me. I'm staying patient as I remember having a similar feeling the first few weeks of high school, but without friends, I can't keep myself busy (something I was looking forward to with college). So far I've been trying to meet people in the few classes I've been to, but most live somewhere else on campus and when class is over they just say bye and leave (only one class isn't in a lecture hall so I probably won't see them much afterward). I've also tried talking to people in the dining halls but they always seem like they're anxious to go somewhere else. I've put my name on a couple clubs but I haven't heard back, and I can never figure out where any of the parties are. Like I said, I know it takes time, but I don't want to realize a month in that I was too late and everyone has already formed their little cliques.</p>

<p>I know how you feel. I’m also a transfer, except I’m living around a bunch of freshmen. It’s very strange. Suggest somethings with housing to do with your floor and the other transfer students so you can get to know each other. Everyone else probably feels just as awkward as you do.</p>
