Did you make friends in college?

Question

I'm gonna be a freshman in college in like a WEEK. The university is like 7 hours from my house and i dont know anyone from my university besides my roommate. I went to orientation last month and honestly, i felt soo lonely because since its a state university, a lot of students already had friends. I felt a bit outta place, and considering im a pretty outgoing person, it was not a good feeling. Im kinda quiet initially, but after i open up, people say im really funny and nice to hang out with. What was your experience as a freshman in college? How did you make friends?

Answer 1

I actually made alot of friends.  It's very different from high school, especially once you start taking classes that are related to your major.  You find people that have similar interests as you which is really nice.  Like you I can be very quite but once I get comfortable I really open up.  You will meet people like you, and little by little you will become more comfortable.  If you are interested in working, look into a work study position which allows you to work on campus.  You become a familiar face around campus, people start to recognize you more and little by little you become the person everyone knows.
