This was me 2 years ago. I transferred in and never lived on campus. What changed things for me was signing up for like 6 clubs I enjoyed and going almost every week for a semester. I only do half of the clubs anymore, but the people I met in the process are still good friends, and the once you know some people, it’s easier to meet others through them.

pls pls just talk to people! i went to Monroe park and just found someone sitting alone and started talking (after asking if she wanted to talk) and now we get lunch together and were pretty decent friends i have like a 1/3 success rate so get used to rejection but its so worth it when it does work out

I’m a commuter too and I only have class 3 days out of the week. I feel like my opportunity to make friends the first week was nonexistent
