Question: How do you make friends? I've just...

Try contacting your Student Union office to see what clubs/organizations/events they have. Also you can usually volunteer/work on-campus. Try contacting your Student Service departments to see what they can offer!

i have the same problem well just that im not in collage i just move to a new city and i have already met some girls that are really good with me but they are just in the classroom. when we are in free time i dont have anyone to hang out so i feel really bad about it. me too im thinking of moving to my old city

Join a club, or several. Clubs are one of the best ways to get involved on a college campus. it helps you make friends with similar interests.

Clubs will also often help provide references for job applications as well.

I just started College as well [so amazing], but I have been really lucky. My roommate and I get along perfectly so we go as a pair places and it makes things a lot easier having someone you know beside you the whole way. Everyone feels awkward the beginning of their freshman year, and everyone is in the same situation you are in. They probably are wanting to ask you to go grab dinner just as much as you are wanting to ask them. Just do it, what's the worst that could happen?

Be yourself, and if your really shy, join groups or events that your interested in. maybe a simple drama group, library group, or study group.. i find being around like minded individuals makes it a lot easier to open up and be myself, so maybe that'll help you out too. Best thing is to be nice to people, and just introduce yourself. just try talking to someone in class. all kinds of ways you can make friends.

i kinda have the same problem i moved from my counry to usa and now im in college and ppl r nice they say hi or stuff but i cannot take it far its like the class is over therefore i dont know yew... so i feel pretty disadjusted here like i dont belong i try so hard to laugh and stuff but even that is hard they look at me like mmmm whatever!...i hate it dunno what to do if this goes on im gonna move to a diferent town and if still wont work ill be back to my country i guess cause its not fun at all to be alone ...

The best way to go about it is to start paying attention to the things people you find friendly enjoy. Do they enjoy indie bands? Maybe there is a new band playing down the street at a local coffee shop this up coming friday night that they would be interested in. Inviting and joining them would put them in a comfortable enviroment where they could just be themselves and you will be able to experiance something different. You have to put yourself out there a bit, but its college. Now is your time to take risks and find out who you truly are as s human being right? : )

I know it sounds lame but being yourself is the best way to go about it.

I have a similar problem but I'm not in college (thinking of returning soon) and having to move to a new city in a few months. Since having a baby, the type of friends I have are dramatically changing. Mom groups have been fun and helpful but also joining a sports team or a local group that does a hobby you enjoy might help out some.

I had a really hard time meeting new people and establishing how to take the casual hello into actually hanging out but I started going to campus events -- they were not exactly the typical activity I would normally participate in but I started to meet some people which gave me the confidence to be forward with them and ask them to grab coffee or a drink outside of class. I should also mention I'm very shy so this was not easy for me but I met a lot of great people and made lifelong girlfriends.
