<p>Hey guys, I transferred to a new big school this semester, and next week is already my last week of the semester. This entire semester, I have had a real lack of social interaction. I have no real circle of good friends or anything. Everyone has been just telling me, it'll get better with time, but I do not really know. Next year I will be living off campus, so I feel like I will be even less social.</p>
<p>I have joined a couple of clubs, and I volunteer at the student tv station, but I haven't met any friends through these things at all. I have thought about joining marching band next year, but it is a huge time commitment, and if I did that, I would not be able to partake in any other activities or clubs.</p>
<p>I am getting really sad thinking about this semester and the lack of people I have met in my dorm. Any advice?</p>
<p>Join a housing cooperative, it’s a sure way to make friends. </p>
<p>Or, get a job where you see the same people 10-20 hours a week. Also a good way to make friends.</p>
<p>Transferring is tough, I’m doing this next semester and am worried about those same things.</p>
<p>Check your vibe? A good vibe for making friends is the laid back, humorous one. You can’t force friendships but you can be humorous and friendly. Hang with like-kind interests and the friendship thing should kick in. BTW it does take time!</p>
<p>I had coworkers who were in marching band in college and found it very beneficial. At least you’re being sociable, it’s really hard now a days to find true “friends”. I’m a junior but I don’t have any BFFs or super close friends. I just hang out with anyone I bump into and it works out well. It would be nice to be a BFF of BF but that’s life.</p>
