Invite someone new to go to a hobby or yours or something you love!

I went CC, Uni, some friends. No friends. Some friends now again. The most effective way I found that has generated social interactions is doing things alone. In college I’d say study or your relaxing hobbies out side of your dorm as much as possible. Get as many socials as possible. You don’t have to care but make a few comments. Post more of what you’re doing but happily. Maybe show off an empty seat like “next time? You?” To someone you wanna hang with.

Walk around campus with a frisbee and ask ppl to play with you. Join a club. Invite classmates to lunch. I know it’s hard, but you need to be the one to outreach to other people if you want to connect with others. The hard truth of life is that it only gets harder from here, to meet people and stay in touch. It takes effort when there isn’t constant proximity. Everyone is waiting for someone to reach out to them but no one is doing that for someone else.

I think the key to making friends is consistently sharing experiences with the same people. This can be in the form of clubs, sports teams, or any other type of organization that regularly brings people together around something they care about. Gradually, the shared experiences and memories become the glue that binds friendships together.

definitely look at the clubs your school offers. i struggled to make friends freshman year too and lost a lot over the past 3.5 years i’ve been in college but i will say most if my friends are in my club. one of my best friends i met 2 years ago in my club. it’s the easiest way to connect with peers over a common interest like a club!

Honestly the best way to do it is to go to random campus events, find ones you actually like (clubs etc) and go consistently. But you also just need to talk to people. I made some of my good friend by literally starting random conversations. Good luck!!

I had the same issue and finally found my people through my school’s car club! Being with a group of like-minded people that share the same passion is awesome and we have a great support network for when our cars break or just as good friends in general!

As a graduate, take freshmen friend with a grain of salt. I found my ride or dies sophomore year

Try joining clubs and/or on-campus events

If you’re religious or open to it, find a Church on campus! I go to CTK and through their events, I’ve met so many of my best friends.

gotta go to clubs and talk to people. and get their contact info, and ask to hang out with them. don’t wait to do this. it’s not weird or creepy to do this.

step outside of your comfort zone and do something you wouldn’t normally do! my college offers those exercise/sports classes and i’ve made so many friends that way and i struggled the same as you before that!

I joined a club and made friends that way. We’re still best friends even though some of them aren’t part of it anymore, but the memories and adventures makes it all worth it! Don’t force friendships or they’ll quickly burn out. Good people will come into your life when you least expect it, so just keep an open mind, keep your head up, and keep trying until you find your people like I did 🫶

If you talked to any people through instagram before going to school hit them up again that’s how I made a long term friendship. I thought she had already found her group but turns out she didn’t have anyone to hang with either

most of my school friends came from my on campus job!
