<p>Since this is a common problem, comfort me here. :)</p>
<p>I'll be transferring to a state college late this summer. It's only a couple of hours away, but that distance means a lot when you don't know anyone.</p>
<p>I think that my biggest worry is that I will not find any friends. Annoyingly, I'm a rather withdrawn person to people I don't know. At the CC I'm at now, I haven't really made any friends. I talk to a couple of people in my classes, but that hardly counts. The friends I have now are from high school or are people I have made friends with over time through other friends.</p>
<p>I'm horrible at sharing a room (plenty of past experience has shown that I do not adjust in time) so I will not have a roommate to get aquainted with.</p>
<p>For other shy gals out there -- how did you deal with this?</p>
<p>While you won'y be sharing a room, if you're dorming you'll still be sharing a floor. Floors have a way of coming together (if they chose) rather quickly. Depending on the school, they may have activities for transfers to take part in. This was something I worried about as well, the lack of friends. I talked to a few people who transfered into Georgetown last year and said it was a lot easier than they ever expected...
College offers something for everyone. Even though you may not think so, there is always going to be someone just as shy as you..Maybe push your self to make the effort to join a club of some type that interests you?</p>

give me an example where a guy spent 4 years in a coed/frat house and didn't get laid.

<p>If that is the true purpose of your pursuing a college-career, then there are other viable alternatives that are not nearly as expensive as the path you are taking.</p>
<p>no, getting laid is a favorable by-product of college education, a highly possible situation. I, of course, don't go to college to get laid, but to get an education. Nowhere did I assert that my purpose (or anyone's purpose) is going to college and get laid.</p>
<p>I am male; I am also, however, disgusted by blackdream's assessment of college-life. Whether or not his description corresponds with what actually occurs, that is no justification for endorsing it.</p>
<p>so sex is not favorable. While there are a large fraction of people do not endorse sex before marriage (and I respect their opinion), I feel it to be quite unnecessary to be "disgusted" by sexual activity in college, especially when you have a long term girlfriend.</p>
<p>whether or not sexual relationship appears or not in college (sexual relationship including those with who you truly love), it's "disgusting" and shall not be endorsed.</p>
<p>sure, call it disgusting. i am sure you will be a very happy person in life.</p>
