Hard time making friends as transfer student?

<p>I transferred form a branch campus of my school to the main campus and I'm about a month into school and I still haven't made any good friends yet. I really only have 2 friends that I can hang out with, one that went to the branch with me and the other I went to high school with. I have met a few other people through my classes, the lgbt group that I joined, and this early-arrival program that I did, but no one that I have had a real connection with. My roommate is gone studying at the library all day everyday and I still really haven't made a connection with him either. I'm just used to having so many friends and it's been a really tough time here trying to meet people and its about a month in and I feel like everyone has already made their cliques. Do you guys have any tips for making some real friends or am I doomed at this point?</p>

<p>Are you in the dorms? You could talk to people who leave their doors open. I’m also a new transfer student, and this is the best way I’ve gotten to know people.</p>

<p>Other than that, it sounds like you’re taking steps in the right direction. I think you just need a bit more patience. As a freshman, you were probably used to being around a lot of people in the same situation who were eager to make friends. Unfortunately, it’ll probably be harder since that’s no longer the case, even though you’re still starting over at a new school. Just keep doing the things you enjoy and strike up conversations with those around you. Also don’t be afraid to make plans with the people you meet (for example, suggest grabbing lunch or coffee together). It may take time, but you’ll probably find people you connect with if you keep trying. Good luck!</p>
