I am an early graduate of my high school and I now commute in my university that is in another town. I am currently doing summer classes but I am finding difficulty meeting new people and making friends. I was and am an extrovert, finding myself very depressed due to loneliness now. Where and how can I approach new people and make close “weekend” friends?
Try joining a club or intramurals on campus to make new friends. If you want to make tons of friends, I find that joining Greek life is an option.
You start making friends with your classmates, doing HW together. Then more classes lead to more friends. Also, joining large clubs. Staying on campus after classes instead of immediately going home helps since you’ll run into people from past classes & you’ll keep seeing people.
Start a commuters club
You can join the gym, it will improve your health and you will make new friends there.
