<p>Hey guys one of the things I dislike about CC is the lack of a social scene. My bio teacher put it perfectly, "kids at CC just show up to school then go home or work". I feel like we are missing out cause we are going to a school with most of us not knowing anyone there. Compared to the kids who get there as freshmen and made friends as semesters passed.</p>
<p>Anyways how hard will it be for us to make friends/find a group of friends?</p>
<p>Will living situation: dorm vs apt affect it?</p>
<p>Umm, in my opinion, I think it won’t be too bad for us transfer students. I mean, there will be thousands of other new transfers who will be facing the same situation. I don’t think it’ll be too hard to find new friends! Just don’t always expect them to come to you, but for you to actually step out your comfort zone and make the first step. Joining clubs and other student organizations would be another good way to find friends as well.</p>
<p>It’s possible to make friends at community college. It’s just harder, because no one at cc has any social skills. You need to take the initiative if you want friends. </p>
<p>After transfer, it may or may not get easier. I have no idea. If your social skills suck going in, you’ll probably have just as hard a time as you’re having now. Read about pick up and start talking to people.</p>
<p>Key college phrases:</p>
<p>What are you up to right now?
Let’s hang out and study.
Didn’t you know I’m a math tutor?
What’s your major?
What’s your career goal?
Did you get the homework?
Hello.
Let’s go on a date.
Call me.
Text me.
Have you been up to exiting and adventurous things?
Let’s go to (insert club name or house party(I don’t think cc people have house parties unless you know exactly the right social group)) Friday night.
I bet you have a snail for a pet. That’s weird.
(Joking/matter-of-fact-ly)I don’t think you meet my highly objective and intellectual criteria. Do you have a million point gpa like me? I didn’t think so. I’m out of your league. You can work up though, I have a long term mentality.
Are you going to cause problems for me?</p>
<p>I live off campus (UCSD which is infamous for being socially dead), yet I probably made more friends here in less than a quarter than the time I’ve spent at a community college. Be sure to be active and friendly during orientation (met least 10-15 people right there) ; and be sure to participate and talk during class (before or after).</p>
