<p>Hey, so I just transferred into temple as a freshmen for Spring 2011. I am having some trouble meeting people, and I was wondering if anyone has any advice, or if there are any other Spring 2011 transfers out there who are feeling the same way. Temple is so big, it's hard to get thrown into the mix in the middle of the year.</p>
<p>Well, the weather certainly hasn’t been conducive to getting out and about 
Are you living in a dorm? If so, have you talked to your RA? Maybe he/she can help you out. Sign up for fitness classes. Join a club…there are many service clubs always happy to have members. I’m not sure what your major is, but there is likely a club focused on it. It’s always hard starting a new place! Hang in there.</p>
<p>Momfirst had some great suggestions. I wonder also do you live in a dorm? </p>
<p>As far as your question are there other spring transfers feeling that way. Definitely.
My daughter just transferred in as a sophomore, but chose to live in a house off campus
with a group of girls she didnt know. She wanted the freedom of her own bedroom, kitchen, ect…I felt she would have more opportunities to meet people if she moved into a dorm with other transfer students, but she didnt want to do that.</p>
<p>She has great roommates, however most of them are Juniors, and are busy with their own lives, friends, jobs and school. She is not used to public transportation yet and hasnt really gone into the City much either yet. I told her she needs to get out there and get involved in clubs and things as well if she wants to meet more people. </p>
<p>She was used to the college she was at for the last year and a half, so this is an adjustment for her as well, but she is positive, and doing well and really likes the school.
You have been there for a short time, give it some time and I am sure somehow you will meet people and your college experience will be what ever you want it to be…Good Luck</p>
