<p>Hmmm my title pretty much says it all, but how have you/ how would you recommend me to get to know people as a sophmore transfer??</p>
<p>And any tips for life in tigerland?</p>
<p>Just living on campus will help a ton. And of course the usual joining clubs, volunteering, etc. If your transfer uni has an honors society, I’d definitely recommend getting involved with that; those are great for meeting people.</p>
<p>What’s your major?</p>
<p>I find labs and then organizations and clubs or frats the best way to make new friends and meet new people.</p>
<p>Depending on what my GC says in march, my major will either be marketing or PR.</p>
<p>I start school in the summer and will live on campus during summer and fall at least. I was thinking about going greek and joining some clubs, but am a little unsure about the GLO thing since I’m already going to be a sophmore. Are people very closeknit after their first year?</p>
<p>If you are PR, you’ll be apart of the Manship School of Journalism. The Journalism school itself is very tight knit. I would recommend being apart of student media either through The Reveille, Tiger TV, The Legacy (magazine), KLSU, or the Gumbo (Yearbook). I know that all branches of student media has some position for a PR person.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestion TB 
I’ll keep it in mind! How is the business school then?</p>
<p>It can be tough. I started as a Freshman and I noticed it’s a lot harder to meet people sophomore year than freshman year because students in your classes already have their friends established. If you’re particularly social or meet people easily, then it shouldn’t be a problem, but if you’re not very social, people aren’t going to go out of their way to meet you if you know what I mean.</p>
<p>I’m in the mass comm school, and the tight knit comment is mostly BS. I’m very close with the staff, they are terrific, and of course I have some friends in the mass comm school, but most students are highly apathetic towards meeting new people by the time they are in advanced classes.</p>
<p>Then again, it’s probably like that at most large public universities. There’s no guarantees, but if you go with an open mind and make an effort, you should be fine.</p>
<p>As for the business school, I think the faculty for the Mass Comm and Public Relations in particular is among the best on campus. The business faculty is not as welcoming as the mass comm staff in my opinion. The reputation is solid for the business school though and it’s not a bad option. It depends more on your personality and which type of classes suit you better as to what’s right for you.</p>
<p>Hey thanks for your reply 
i sent you a pm btw… I see myself as social, but I admit I can be a little shy if I don’t know my way around. I’m hoping to get involved in differents orginazations so I hope that helps when it comes to meeting people as well :)</p>
<p>i just hope i do make some friends because if not, i can’t exactly go running home as “home” is 5000 miles away! Lol :)</p>
<p>see i’m in the same boat. i’m a transfer from UWF in florida and know almost absolutely no one. i’m trying to read the posts on here to see what I can do to meet people, so if any one has any more hints, please re-post. Btw, thanks for posting this! I’m glad someone is in the same nervous mind-state as me!</p>
<p>leigh, do you already attend LSU or are you transferring in this fall? I visited early this month just to make sure I wanted to take the final leap, and sure enough… staff and students all were super friendly so I’m not as nervous anymore!</p>
<p>im transferring to LSU this fall too, im from new york so i haven’t even visited the campus, ill most likely end up joining a frat but im not sure yet, so im pretty nervous coming down. so does anyone know the best dorm to live in?</p>
