Probably just wander around a bit and make some small talk with people if you’re not opting for orgs, some friendships happen by chance and they might connect you with their friends

I made many just doing my own thing pursuing good grades, joining clubs and organizations. I was outgoing because I was motivated to do well, I asked for numbers and sent out emails asking for group studies etc. Just being friendly, greeting people and starting small talk while waiting for classes, not being too bothersome in the beginning and letting people open up to get closer.

Sit by new people in class! Sometimes it can be awkward and they won’t say anything but just keep picking random spots.

Sit in on clubs and try and observe if there are any “outcasts”. Also if people in clubs want you to come, YOU have the leverage.

Yeah I agree. Try to talk to people in class/small talk if you get there early! My mutuals did that a lot before I got to class and we’re all good friends :) best of luck to you 🩷

Smaller clubs are usually desperate for ppl to come so they can get more funding and have friendlier ppl so maybe aim that way
