<p>I am a first semester freshmen commuting to a private college. I still feel like I have made no real friends here. In high school I had a ton of friends, and was always doing social things. I tried to be as outgoing as possible in order to make friends but i haven't made many. I started eating and meeting up with 3 girls and 1 boy from my orientation group who seem to do everything together but after it seemed like I was really hitting it off well with them, recently it has seemed like they are annoyed by me. They always text eachother when they are going to lunch or dinner and never keep me in the loop about anything. The only way I talk to them is if I text them or see them in the dining hall. I joined intramural volleyball on the same team as one of them but I'm wondering if that was a bad idea now. I'm honestly not a weird person at all and i think I'm a fairly fun person. I know commuters have a reputation as antisocial but I'm usually on campus until late at night. I don't just go to class and go home. I just wanna make friends I'm tired of having nobody to talk to and eating alone in the dinning room.</p>
<p>I think you might want to repost this in the ‘college life’ forum to get more responses.<br>
There have been many posts about students who are living on campus still feeling this way at this point in the year. It seems that it’s not unusual. I’m sorry things don’t seem to be working out with that first group that you met, but it does sound like you are on the right track with getting involved in a variety of things. I’d look around for a couple more clubs/activities to get involved in, and when it’s time to eat in the dining room, look around and see if anyone else looks like they might like someone to sit with. I know…easier said than done. Hang in there. It will get better.</p>
<p>You’re not alone so don’t worry. I felt the same way a year ago when I moved to my uni. Eventually I met more people and made one close friend. I still struggle with making friends. My social life still isn’t what I want it to be. But I’m working on it. What have you done to improve your situation so far?</p>
<p>I feel like im in the same boat, I go to college in CA. I joined some clubs and an organization that fits my school schedule.</p>
<p>Is there a commuter club/lounge? Check that out.
On the intramural team, try to make more friends. See if the team wants to get pizza after.</p>
