<p>I am a junior transfer from Monroe Community College in Rochester, NY who is now attending Cornell University. While I've met some people since last Friday when I arrived here I don't have a specific group of kids to hang with and I feel like everyone else has kind of already found their clics. Maybe I'll meet some other upperclassmen once my classes start but I need some advice or anyone's experience like me? I don't know if I should transfer again to somewhere near home to be happier.</p>
<p>No, don't transfer. It'll be the same anywhere else, I think. </p>
<p>Everyone might have found their cliques, but I'm sure you'll find one soon. Just don't worry so much and be yourself. Join a club you're really interested in -- that's always a good way to meet people. </p>
<p>I'm sure you're going to be fine in a few weeks. You worked hard to get into Cornell, so tough it out for a little bit, it'll work out itself.</p>
<p><em>hug</em> I know it's tough being the new one, but you'll find your group soon.</p>
<p>Just stay possitive and friendly and you'll attract people left and right. Also, you should think about joining clubs/organizations as they are reliable places to find people to hang out with.</p>
<p>Hey man things will get better, they have to! Your at you dream school, you beat out some of the most qualified kids from all around the country (internationally as well)! You won man, this is your moment of glory. Just get involved in a few EC's and you'll be fine:)</p>
<p>I felt the same way at Georgetown; however, it took me one year and two transfer acceptances to schools I loved to actually realize that I like the place. Every university has its pros and cons; it is up to you to identify the pros and capitalize on them. It is also up to you to compensate for the university's deficiencies; that way, you stand out better.</p>
<p>great advice guys im going to an event next week where all the student org.s will be recruiting so i am excited and classes start tomorrow so we'll see how things go</p>
<p>I kinda know what you are mean sucuse1414. I am a transfer to Cornell as well and at times it does feel that way, but my OL group (which is composed of people from my college at Cornell) is very helpful and that really made me feel welcomed. Try to attend all the events, especially with your OL group. I have the last one tonight.</p>
<p>no worries, Cornell is a huge school and it may be a little difficult to find your nich at first. Just take it day by day and join a few clubs. Heck, I didn't meet my current 'best friend' until halfway through my first semester. </p>
<p>Just remember, you are not alone, everybody is scrambling to make friends. Dont rush it, make true friends with common interests rather than just trying to be in a clique.</p>
