Freshman year struggles

I am a second semester freshman at a school far away from home. I went to this school knowing nobody. this school is fairly large (30,000 students). i rushed at the beginning of fall semester and got into a sorority that i was rejecting all week. I tried it out and absolutely hated it. I then dropped my sorority and told them that my reasoning was that i just could’ve afford it my first year. I live in an apartment style dorm and absolutely hate my three other roommates. Two of them are only focused on drugs and never attend their classes and ironically never go out on the weekends. The other roommate is very quite and laid back. she is from the area and is constantly going home to be with her family. I had a group of friends last semester but they all seperated into smaller groups. I am trying hard to make friends in all my classes but everyone is so cliquey. Basically, if you are in a sorority here you will have friends, if not you are lonely and don’t fit in. i constantly feel like i don’t have friends and like i just don’t fit in. i am considering transferring but my parents won’t hear me out.

How about joining some clubs, getting a part time job, and/or finding someplace to volunteer near campus? The more people you meet, the more likely you are to find more friends. Transferring doesn’t always solve social issues.

I’ve just begun my second semester of college and i’ve been thinking about transerring. my roommates never want to go out and are constantly going home on the weekends and i just can’t find my group. i’ve tried a sorority but hated the one i got into and have to wait till next fall to rush again. Everyone is so cliquey and doesn’t want to make new friends. i cry myself to sleep every night because i’m so alone
