<p>So I've been at university for two weeks now, and I have just been having trouble making decent friends. I have gone out, met people, gotten phone numbers, joined a few clubs, yet I have yet to find people to just hang out with. There are a few people who I will see and talk with every once in a while, but I am hesitant to text them to hang out or grab a bite to eat; I feel as if I do that I will be thought of as clingy or needy. I just wanted some advice on how to find my niche really, anything at all would be a great help.</p>
<p>Text people to hang out or grab a bite to eat.</p>
<p>The only way to meet new people is to be friendly and look for opportunities wherever you are - sit down with someone else who is alone in a lecture ,or the dining hall . It might help to wear a shirt about a cause you believe in or a concert you went to . There are other people who feel the same way you do . Take advantage of all meet and greet activities ! You can’t hang back ! Your dorm should have activities as well .</p>
<p>i think if you are a new students in a college, making of some best friendship will make your academic life will more happy and entertaining…you can avoid your academic stress up to an extend…so try to friendly for all :)</p>
<p>I agree with fauxmaven. I find it difficult myself with making actual GOOD friends, but for some reason it’s much, much easier in college. High school is just so limited that everyone has no choice but to stick with certain people and once you’re done, some or most of those “friends” will be gone out of your life.</p>
<p>College has tons of people – and different types which is awesome. You definitely have to take the initiative if you’re new to school and know absolutely nobody. It’s been like that for me, too. I’ve noticed that you meet better people as the year progresses because everyone is not into finding a quickie buddy to be with so they wont feel or seem lonely. Just talk to people next to you in class and see if you click with any of them. Most of my friends right now are from my classes. I formed a study group and met a few that way. Some clubs are ok for finding friends, but clubs aren’t the best in my opinion, but you do meet people so that’s good.</p>
<p>Anyway, I don’t know what else to tell you but keep searching but don’t feel rushed. Just go with the flow and meet as many people as you because eventually you’ll meet your best friend.</p>
<p>“it’s much, much easier in college.”</p>
<p>completely disagree</p>
<p>I think it’s very difficult to make good friends in college. So many people, hard to find enough time, etc.</p>
<p>Very, very easy to make acquaintances, though.</p>
<p>I guess I should rephrase that sentence:</p>
<p>It’s much, much easier to find less clique-y type of people in college vs. high school.</p>
<p>You clearly rephrased that sentence.</p>
<p>To make GOOD friends, definitely find someone whom you find interesting or have similar interests and try to get one on one time with them. Invite them to eat or to just come kick it in your dorm.</p>
<p>There’s also the Ben Franklin method of asking them to do something for you.</p>
<p>Definitely isn’t easier to make good friends in college. Its easier to meet new people I think, because there are new people on campus every semester who introduce themselves and let you know where they’re form etc. College students generally seem to be pretty open to that.</p>
<p>Becoming GOOD or Great friends takes time. You need to find a few people you can chill with and let some time pass. Nobody started off being GOOD friends with anyone they new from High School or Middle School, unless they happened to grow up together.</p>
<p>“If you believe you’re going to lose, you already have” everything is within yourself so never let your brain cloud your wishes, control it and go forth. I am a student so I know how it felt.</p>
