<p>Some people/schools say making friends is so easy thanks to freshman orientation/ all the freshman activities to get students to meet each other. I know everyone one goes to orientation, but lode people actually go to the activities? Or is it like a high school event where no one would show up?</p>
<p>That’ll depend on the event. Some will be popular, some will be empty. Ones with free food will probably be popular. If you can, take your roommate/floormate/whoever with you, then you’ll never be completely alone. :P</p>
<p>It depends on the school–if it’s a commuter school, you might have to look for the right organization to make friends / there might not be as many freshman specific events. I’ve made a couple of acquaintances from orientation, but not solid friends as I really don’t get to see them much or share classes. As an engineer in a major that doesn’t have many people that survived the weed out process you get to know everyone really well in the upper division. Basically everyone has the same schedule lol.</p>
<p>Depends on the activities. Just go, try to be friendly, and you’ll probably meet at least a few people. I met my best friends during preorientation and actual orientation although I became close to them during down time, not the actual events.</p>
