<p>I can relate to this post so much. I’m a transfer student and it seems like most people have somebody. I really hope that what people have said is true, that it will get better overtime.</p>
<p>one bit of advice i can give, is leave your dorm room open. we did that during the first week and we ended up meeting a few people in our hall. when eating at JCL, just find someone sitting alone and ask if theyd mind if u sat with them, and the conversation should follow. also, get to your classes early, and just ask simple questions to ppl next to you like, what’s your major, where are you from, and so on.</p>
<p>That is good advice – however, some RAs are strict about the rule in Jester that room doors cannot be left open due to fire hazard. I know that rule is in effect especially on the 9th floor in Jester East.</p>
<p>wow… that’s ■■■■■■■■</p>
<p>Here at Littlefield, the rule is just don’t be an idiot and leave your room with it propped open - otherwise it’s cool.</p>
<p>I like this way of living. lol</p>
<p>Everything seems to be a freakin fire hazard on campus. :/</p>
<p>If any fishes are lonely join F.I.R.S.T. Its a club for Freshman where you can meet other people, eat, and just hang out.</p>
<p>Is anyone still open to hanging out? I feel super pathetic for asking, but I haven’t made a single friend since moving in… except my roommate, but she always seems to be studying.</p>
<p>If so, please let me know! :)</p>
<p>Haha sure, do you live on the Jester side of campus or on the Kinsolving side?</p>
<p>I’m in Jester West… so, Jester side. :P</p>
<p>I’m in Jester East! If you PM me your email address, I’ll look you up on Facebook.</p>
<p>Alright. 
I’ll be busy with homework & laundry most of tonight, though. (My life is exciting like that.)</p>
<p>i’m a new transfer and commuter student, and i’ve been having a hard time making friends. it feels like everybody has already made their group of friends, and it takes effort (at least for me) to stay on campus after classes are over. on top of that i’m shy 
i probably sound really desperate but . . … does anyone want to get lunch or hang out tomorrow?</p>
<p>lol yeah you sound desperate linuxbird, but I think most of us are lmao. Yeah I’m kinda ****ed that people are finding friends and clinging on to them or dragging their high school buddies everywhere. Like sheesh, what kind of antisocial person turns down more friends?</p>
<p>Anyway, are you a girl or boy? If you’re a girl, I’ll hang out with you!
Yeah I can’t try the “open door” trick because my dorm room is in a corner. my luck haha</p>
<p>Hi Guys,</p>
<p>I’m a senior here, and if you’re looking for an easy way to meet people, might I suggest Planet Longhorn. It’s a group designed for international students to “ease” into American life. Lots of Americans there too. You can find their group on Facebook.</p>
<p>Senior, here. Decided to live at Riverside to save some money after living in West Campus for 2 years.</p>
<p>Word of advice: Don’t. I don’t have a car and I was randomly paired with some antisocial roommates. I feel like a wet blanket total when I get my friends to pick me up from here.</p>
<p>Once I leave campus and come back to my pad, it’s pretty lonely.</p>
<p>I definitely recommend Planet Longhorn ([Planet</a> Longhorn - Bigger than Pluto!](<a href=“http://planetlonghorn.net/]Planet”>http://planetlonghorn.net/)).</p>
<p>I can be shy, but it really isn’t hard to just talk to people in your classes. There’s a high chance that you have the same major or career aspiration as the person right next to you. It may seem nerdy to come to class 30 minutes early, but the time you spend waiting for class to start can be used to talk with some other classmates. That’s one of the main ways I have made friends so far. I am also in a FIG, so everyone in there is the same major as me and we all want to be doctors or pharmacists pretty much which makes conversations easy. In college, you just gotta break out of your shell and get to know others. Don’t just hide in your dorm room all day.</p>
<p>i havent joined any clubs and i’m still lonely. i made the mistake of going home both weekends. ugh i feel pathetic.</p>
<p>It’s my second year here and i have only made a few close friends, but most of the comments here are spot-on. But it can still be hard, the few friends i made were by accident. Well if anyone is bored and in close to proximity to San Jacinto let me know. I just transferred in the business school and most of the people in McComb’s are somewhat cliquish.</p>
<p>haha. jackdaniels, you’ve gotta stop going home. although i went home often at the start of my freshman year (for a girl. derp.), you’ll grow out of it.</p>
<p>i met most of my friends my freshman year eating a J2 and pickup basketball games at Gregory. started with my roommate and i meeting some people. started partying together on weekends. social group expanded over the years. J2 became a daily tradition for us and we’d always be there at the same time. it’s easier to make friends if you can get in a habit of seeing eachother.</p>
<p>It’s starting to sound like a college confidential UT group should be made :P</p>
