<p>On average, how long does it take the typical college student to find their real "friend group", like the one you'll always hang out with and stuff? Especially if you know really no other freshmen going into college?</p>
<p>On average? How long?</p>
<p>Well since I often times visit colleges with my stop watch and calender I’ve created a comphrensive graph on the EXACT times I meet with “friend groups” at colleges. Afterwards I, of course, averaged the numbers together to get:</p>
<p>4 days, 9 hours, 40 minutes, and 32 seconds.</p>
<p>Hope this helps. :/</p>
<p>^hahaha. Idk, I got 4 days, 8 hours, 29 minutes, and 41 seconds.</p>
<p>But seriously, there is no magical time. I met my first close group of friends about two weeks in, but I’ve made other really close friends in my sophomore year. It might take you a week, or it might take you all four years. Just keep making friends and don’t worry if this group will be “the one”.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well…Aren’t we just the social butterfly. :[</p>
<p>Yeah, don’t expect to make a lasting group of friends right away. I think it’s pretty common to meet a few people right away and then kind of drift to people you click with better. People also do switch social circles as well. For some it takes a long time, others not so much.</p>
<p>It took me a couple of months to get true friends. Joining musical ensembles and talking to people on my floor helped.</p>
<p>About a day for me haha. My closest friends at school are the people who were in the room next to me freshman year (2 years ago) or somewhere nearby in the same dorm.</p>
<p>still searching</p>
<p>It’s different for everybody. For me, going into my freshman year I didn’t know anyone either, but I definitely met my real group of friends within the first few hours of being on campus. Just be open to meeting people and the rest will follow.</p>
<p>i’ve been struggling making friends my entire freshman year in college. Yes, i have had some casual talks with some students but they were just my acquaintances. Most students come and go about their days. However, i came to a realization that many students in my class may also be in my shoes. No one can have too many friends. Just be the one to initiate a conversation everyday and you’ll eventually become their best friend. What is the worst that can happen? They’ll say no? That’s more than unlikely. Keep your head up high. College is the place to explore, gain new experience and meet new people. I’m sure your college has some clubs and activities you can join. That is the perfect chance to expand your circle of friends.</p>
<p>I was ridiculously worried about making friends in college last year, because I also knew no one else, but I luckily met the two people who became my best friends at college on the first day, at our floor meeting! You just never know when you’ll meet the people you click with though, sometimes it takes longer to find them. While I was able to find them early, they are also the only true friends I have so far.</p>
<p>My first year at CC, I was terrified of making friends because of the rep the place had around town, I just thought everyone would be older than me. </p>
<p>I was in the Honors Room one day and this girl was talking about how she forgot to give her dog her flee medicine and then proceeded to shake off her coat in case it had flees on it (nevermind the room had carpeting and the chairs had cloth lining so if it did have flee, it would be easy to miss them if they got around). I asked her to stop and couldn’t help but laughing with this other guy in the room who I’d seen around but never talked to and we became really good friends after that. Then, the girl did some things to tick me off, so we weren’t as close, but the guy introduced me to some of his friends because they’d been there longer than me and I became really good friends with them too.</p>
<p>And as cheesy as those introduction things were in my one class, it did help me get to know a lot of the people there. Some I talk to almost every day. </p>
<p>I’m hoping things go as smoothly at my new school, too.</p>
