<p>I Just Want To Know What Is The Best Method.
And If I Go Form Dorm Room To Dorm Room What DO I Say to Them?</p>
<p>Find one person: “Hey, do you want to grab some people from our floor to go eat dinner together?” Once you can find one person, then go down your hallway knocking other people’s doors: “Hey, we’re going to go get some dinner right now. Do you guys want to come eat with us?” Some people will say no, and that’s ok. Hopefully when you’re through, you should have assembled a small group of people to go eat dinner.</p>
<p>Do this whenever you want to hang out with your floormates, and expand it to other activities (watch a movie, play a game, go to a campus event, etc). The more often you hang out, the more likely you’ll become good friends.</p>
<p>No. You won’t make any friends and you’ll be lonely all the time. Your roommate will hate you and you’ll spend much of your time alone. You’ll become cynical and misanthropic because you’ll notice that everyone around you is happy and beautiful. Your depression will increase tenfold when you realize that all the expectations you had about college were all wrong. You’ll spend every spare minute longing for that sweet day that the bus driver accidentally slams on the accelerator instead of the brake and puts your infernal suffering to an end. </p>
<p><em>AHEM</em> <em>coughcoughcough!</em> </p>
<p>I mean, yes, I imagine it’s quite easy if you’re sociable and outgoing. Your dorm will probably host several social events in the beginning of the year, and you should go to them. I regret not going to the dorm-wide events that took place on the first few days after move-in and before the beginning of class. Also, I imagine you should start looking for clubs early, because at this point many of the clubs I’m interested in are already well on their way and I’d feel awkward hopping on the bandwagon.</p>
<p>Get involved in activities and clubs that interest you. Do this even if you’ve never tried out those activities before and no one you know is involved. </p>
<p>Typically the easiest way to make friends in college is to do group-oriented things that interest you. You’ll meet people who have lots in common with you. Fall of freshman year most clubs and ECs are recruiting, and have a big welcome mat out particularly for freshmen.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s easy for anybody. For some maybe, though. For me, no. I have an impression that everyone in college hates me. :(</p>
<p>^They don’t. :D</p>
<p>nah its pretty easy though large intro classes does make it tough. in your dorm and through activities like frosh its very simple</p>
<p>Yes. I have plenty. I am still close with many people I met freshmen year. Go greek if you can.</p>
<p>nothing worth doing is easy</p>
<p>It depends.</p>
<p>If you’re outgoing and attractive, then it’s easy.</p>
<p>If you’re shy and socially awkward, it’s not.</p>
<p>Of course, the school you attend also determines whether you’ll make friends easily. Generally, you’ll make friends more quickly if you are similar to the average student at your university (e.g. a nerd at MIT or a partier at Penn State).</p>
<p>Me and my roommate just walked around to literally every room in the dorm and met everyone. So yea, its pretty easy if you try.</p>
<p>Just remember, most everyone is in the same boat as you. It’s not like you’re walking into some club where everyone already knows eachother.</p>
<p>Thanks! Great Ideas! I Know It Won’t be super easy! I am attractive and I can hold a Conversation.</p>
<p>You will probably gravitate towards 3-4 people and become good friends with them. Just be open and normal. </p>
<p>My first weekend in college, 100% true, 2 girls asked if I had any porn. Tee hee, they asked the right guy. Became instant friends.</p>
<p>just be a nice kid. Make a good impression. Help them with their homework or open your doors with them. Just find a group of kids you find interesting and just chill with them. It is best to just talk to the kids from your classes; a lot of them are like you and if you are having electives, you have a common interest.</p>
<p>try to go with the trends. If you conform, more kids will be attractive to you. But don’t be a clone; have something cool about you too.</p>
<p>Easy to make acquaintances, hard to make friends IMO.</p>
<p>Familiarity is key.</p>
<p>Definitely, definitely, definitely agree with the post above me. I’ll add my opinions as well.</p>
<p>There are a number of factors that help determine a “friend.” One you probably won’t make a “friend” so fast. You have to realize, just because you’re in someone’s face all day every day (I’m talking in general), doesn’t mean that person is your friend. There are a number of tests that you and that person will have to go through throughout college to determine if that person is a friend or not. Case in point, in my college, there are a group of kids I see who hang out together. One lunch, they invited me to sit with them, and I did, and they were talking about of the kids in their clique that wasn’t eating with them (I think she was at class). That just shows, you don’t know everyone. </p>
<p>Point two: there are factors out of your control. The primary reason why me and my roommates don’t click is because they drink and I don’t. A lot of the events they do together is drinking and I’m not going to drink just so I could say “OMFGZZZZ I GOT 3 MORE FRIENDS!!!” The fact that I don’t drink is out of my control and unfortunately hinders me from connecting with them. So what I am also saying is, be yourself. Don’t change any aspect of yourself just to fit in. If you attract a group of people who like you for you, so be it. If you don’t, so be it.</p>
<p>If you search my posts back to my first ever post made here, you would know that I was miserable my first week here. I couldn’t stand it here and considered transferring. Now, things have gotten better for the main fact that I don’t worry about who’s my next friend is going to be. I’ve signed up for one club that I love soooooooo much. I didn’t really make friends there, but the club itself is fun and makes me happy. I’ve stopped caring about where my next friend is coming from and focused on myself. I don’t really have many friends or acquaintances, and I don’t mind it. My first month of college truly confirmed that I’m more of an introvert person so it’s good for me. My problem was that I was trying to not be an introvert and be an extrovert and I think that’s where my anger stemmed when I wasn’t making friends/acquaintances the first week. If you keep yourself busy and involve yourself, I’m pretty sure you’ll make friends.</p>
