<p>I was just curious how easy is it to make friends in college? </p>
<p>I can be a social person but sometimes I am shy. I am going to try very hard not to be so shy, so is it easy to make friends?</p>
<p>It can be a little intimidating but just remember that everyone is in the same boat. Are you staying on campus? If so, try to get into a room or suite where there are several other people. My kids always tried to live with people NOT in their own major, so they could meet more people. Even if you are shy make yourself go to any kind or orientations. Also, try joining some activity- clubs, music groups, etc. Also try to get into a study group with people in your classes. That really helps! Good luck!</p>
<p>Everyone is in the same situation as you, with the exception of a handful of people who attend a university together.</p>
<p>Try making friends with your roomate and hallmates to start with.</p>
<p>Not so hard to do. On Freshmen move in day, you’ll be making friends with pretty much everyone you see so its not difficult. what helps is to get a Facebook or Twitter</p>
<p>Orientation! and you have your dorm mate :)</p>
<p>Be sure to add in plenty of smileys ( 
) when talking online, since it makes everyone happier.</p>
<p>Facebook helped me a lot, I talked to people online to get to know them more and then we met on move in day.</p>
<p>Wow all these questions about making friends in college make it seem so hard… I am scared now, especially since I’m international and have an accent</p>
<p>Wow you guys make it seems so hard to make friends and all these questions about being miserable in college are making me depressed. I’m going to be a freshman next year and I’m international, this is so scary lol. I want to party, not be miserable and stay in my room all the time</p>
<p>An accent?</p>
<p>Oh **** you’re screwed.</p>
<p>College is what you make of it honestly, if you go out and have fun you will definitely make friends. Clubs always help too because you will have people with the same interests as you.</p>
<p>^^^^^^</p>
<p>What she (sorry! 
) said. If you try to find friends, it’s generally pretty easy to do in college. But if you just sit in your room, nobody’s going to tell you to stop and get out some either.</p>
<p>Oh, and people with accents: don’t worry. Everyone whose sexual preferences tend towards your gender thinks your accent is sexy.</p>
<p>I’m a girl. :(</p>
<p>So on orientation day, pretty much, you get as many names as possible, and then go on Facebook and add every single one of them…</p>
<p>Well you should look to see if there is something like a Class of 20__ group and you can meet freshmen on there. Add people and chat it up.
But also on orientation day you should approach people and talk, a lot of them will be in the same boat and want to make friends.</p>
<p>Yeah…I heard it’s the norm to just walk up to a stranger and introduce yourself during the first few weeks.</p>
<p>Yes it is and people will approach you too. Also if you happen to have a class that has a lot of freshman or such you can make friends that way.</p>
<p>Be yourself, keep your door open, and be nice and friendly to EVERYONE. You will make friends easily and other people will also want to be your friend</p>
