<p>So I'm interested in transferring to Michigan for the winter term. Is it easy to make friends at UM as a transfer student? I'm nice but I'm just really shy..</p>
<p>Being shy doesn’t really make it easy to make friends. Try looking for people that seem nice and approachable and start a conversation or introduce yourself. UM is a relatively big school so you’re bound to find someone you can relate to. Just be yourself and relax! :)</p>
<p>Just a warning, you probably shouldn’t expect to transfer after only one semester. Expect it’ll take at least 3.</p>
<p>do you have hobbies or interests? a good place to start could to be join a club at michigan. in my opinion, sports clubs are the best in terms of facilitating friendship and bonds, but others could work as well (dance marathon, etc).</p>
<p>Join a club or play on an IM team</p>
