Is it hard to make friends when transferring to a uni from a cc??

<p>(in your experience), Im going to a local cc for maybe the first year (i live in fl) and i plan on transferring to fiu in miami, thats wear most of my fam lives...I live in orlando fl. Moving to another city with only two years of schooling at the college makes me wonder if ill even fit in or not...can you guys tell me your experiences? Im also pretty social..but still</p>

<p>If you’re only going for a year before transferring, it can’t be too bad. A lot of social groupings will have formed, but there might be a few people who haven’t made close friends yet. You’ll also have to deal with being behind the other students maturity-wise, which can happen when moving from the slower pace of a community college to the relatively more intellectual, adult atmosphere of a college campus where you’ll be away from your family full-time. Your best bet will be to do the same thing that freshmen do when they first arrive on campus, and start looking up interesting activities to participate with. If you are living on campus, you can also try and make friends with the people in your dorm and possibly even if your roommate if applicable.</p>

<p>lol it scares me…did u experience this?</p>

<p>you will def make friends. you will be surroudned by people who are similar majors, similar hobbies, same plans to transfer etc.</p>

<p>going to a CC has obviously been stereotyped to have really dumb students. and for the most part stereotypes do have some truth to them. you’ll find yourself mingling with people who will motivate you to study. these students will become friends through each and every one of you suffering and studying your brains out all night haha.</p>

<p>i know this from personal experience. some of the best friends ive met.
your experience anywhere and life in general is what you make of it. if you want friends, make some :)</p>
