<p>Will this happen if I'm not exactly the most outgoing, sociable person around? Is making friends at CC difficult--- especially if you are a newcomer to the city?</p>
<p>no!</p>
<p>there will be so many who are newcomers to the city! A common misconception is that the city is a distraction and once students get to columbia, they disperse to different corners of Manhattan. Not true. </p>
<p>You're going to need to make an effort to make friends though--and that will be true wherever you go. But don't worry, you'll find your niche.</p>
