<p>i'm a sophomore considering a transfer from pepperdine to ucla and want to know how hard it is to make friends for a new kid? are people here not too easy letting new people into established social cliques? i'm pretty out going and preppy so i don't think i should have too much trouble making friends but i'm not sure at all. thanks</p>
<p>why did you start a new thread? you could have asked this question in your previous thread. :mad:</p>
<p>i figured i'd get more attention in a new thread</p>
<p>by starting this seemingly pointless thread, you have forever lost me as a potential friend.</p>
<p>i dont think he would want a premed as a friend anyways</p>
<p>So the government did some sort of a bailout? I'm thinking of incorporating myself, who wants to merge?</p>
<p>cromagnon, you won't be the only new person if you transfer. there will be hundreds of people looking for new friends. plus, if you get involved in campus activities or socialize with people in the dorms, it'll make making friends a piece of cake.</p>
<p>^ i have already met a lot of transfers from many universities, not just from community colleges. some include university of san diego, cal state la, etc.</p>
<p>Cromagnon: during 0 week, from what I've seen, anyone can make a good many new friends regardless of age and grade level. I've already made a couple transfer friends as a freshman by joining a group, and several second- and third years are now my friends in the band (and obviously they made friends with me, so continuing students don't stop making friends after first year).</p>
<p>And let's be nice to posters here. If you think the OP should have put the question on an existing thread, we can easily mention so without getting worked up, especially since the poster is a new member. Just my two cents on that.</p>
<p>no, youll have a hard time NOT meeting people and making friends . . . i came here knowing no one. not the most social person. somehow i acquired them . clubs, blablablah, R/A, classes, balbalbalh --> friends</p>
<p>Uh-huh. Go to club events, meet people in dining halls, make study groups, get out and meet people!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What? You seem pretty social from all your threads!</p>
<p>On making friends, most people don't really think about it too hard so if someone is accessible to you (ie you have the same classes or live on the same floor) and have some common interests, then you'll easily be able to make friends with them.</p>
<p>The only thing is that for you it will be a bit one-sided since few people if any will come to you to make friends. You will have to go to them, but thats everywhere... not just UCLA. People are nicer than you would expect.</p>
<p>being social on the internet is different from being social in real life</p>
<p>true... just saying...</p>
<p>well i know some of them irl (pink + jinobi for example) so i can engage in banter. not that im antisocial -- im just not in your face 24/7 asking random people about their major/year/yadada . oh well i guess youll see at the meetup. or at least, i dont think im super social. o_o;</p>
<p>qipao, are you good friends with them via college confidential or did you meet them before in school?</p>
<p>yeah I see what you mean... super social gets pretty annoying.</p>
<p>being social at UCLA is very ez.</p>
<p>to some degree it depends where u live, but its wat u make out of it in the end.</p>
<p>i know some very antisocial ppl living in the most social of dorms and i see others livin it up in the quietest of them.</p>
<p>the school, however, is no obstacle in meeting ppl. just be urself and have a good time.</p>
<p>this is advice from a first-year who just went through 0 week.</p>
<p>Before. Why?</p>
<p>I'm kind of sick of the same introductions:</p>
<p>for (counter = 0; counter < 10000; counter++)
{
What's your name?
What's your major?
Where are you from?
Where do you live?
What did you do over summer?
How are you?
What's up?
}
