I’m a little more than a month into my sophomore year at a new school, after transferring from a place where I felt socially isolated and uncomfortable. I love it here so far and I’m glad I made the choice to switch - I love the campus, my classes are going pretty well and the people here all seem very kind. My problem is, I still haven’t found a solid group of friends and I’m not sure how to go about this. I’ve joined a ton of different clubs, including some Christian organizations and a dance club. All of the other sophomores I’ve met seem to have their own established friend groups and what not. I live off campus and all of my suite mates are really nice, but they’re athletes so they spend most of their time with their teammates. I have a few other friends who are transfers from my orientation group, but we all have different schedules and interests. I would really just love to have a solid group of friends who I can eat dinner with, go out with on the weekends with, etc.
For other transfer students who were in my situation, how did you meet your friends? Was it through classes, clubs, parties or somewhere else? Am I doing something wrong here?
