<p>Any tips on making friends in college?? I am a very nervous/shy person until I get comterable around you. This could take a day or a year.... but once I do get comterable around you I am the most outspoken person you will ever meet. Any suggestions for getting to know people. Also tips on getting along w/ your roommate.</p>
<p>Participate in an activity you're interested in. You'll meet other students with similar interests. Clubs usually hold meetings, events, and socials where you will interact with others members and get to know them.</p>
<p>Join study groups for your classes. Part of the time is spent studying, and part is spent socializing. You can motivate each other and commiserate with each other. When you've survived a rough class with someone else, you get to know that person better.</p>
<p>good spelling always helps</p>
<p>My best suggestion for getting along with a roommate is to pick your battles. Don't waste a ton of energy if the issue, whatever it is, isn't really worth it. If you have thoughtful and considerate roommates, it can be nice to let them know you appreciate their behavior by being respectful of their study schedules, keeping the common areas tidy, and so forth.</p>
<p>honestly, just get the courage to say hi to someone who you have seen a few times and strike up a conversation about anything, sports, clothes, the news, a class... the vast majority of people are open to talking to people but are just too shy to make the first move</p>
