Is it hard making friends at Rutgers?

Im kind of shy and introverted, not much of a partier, but I dont have anything against partying. Im planning on joining clubs and stuff, and leaving my dorm room open for people who want to to talk and stuff like that. I heard that a lot of Rutgers students hang around cliques and their high school friends, and I have kind of had enough of high school and want to get away from high school. Im out of state, and just want to make sure I can do good at Rutgers. I like the fact that Rutgers has diversity because Im Indian and I wont really stand out or look weird.

It all depends on you. I am a commuter, but I have made such long-lasting friends through my major. You can definitely make friends through clubs and orgs. Dorming will also give you friends. But you need to take a step to make friends. You goto them. They won’t come to you. Good luck!

So as long as I go to clubs, and am friendly and go out I should be fine?

You should be fine! And maybe you can make potential friends during orientation! I’m still good friends with someone I met at orientation and we have different majors.
