You'll be forced to work in groups for a lot of your classes. Enjoy it if that's what you like.

Not in college or anything but I know you can make friends with freshman.
Freshman in college all want to make new friends since they barely know anyone there.
A lot of them are probably in the same situation as you. Except for the basil part

If you're going to dorm, meeting people will be much easier. Everyone has a clean slate and is willing to get to know everyone.

Well I've been at my college for a week and I've only met 1 guy who I'm kind of friendly with. Even so, we don't talk much. Classes started today.

I just started college and my priority wasn't to try to meet people, but I ended up doing that anyway.
If you're an outgoing person it should be easy.
If you're not just go to events & introduce yourself to people esp people in your classes.
What college are you in may I ask

@zeroLuck: it's ok. you can always get DD implants im joking. as long as you're genuinely nice, friendly, and willing to help others many people will want to be your friend.

[quote=zeroLuck]@iDrinkOJ nah man I'm a girl. With almost no cleavage** lol[/quote]

Dont worry boys like butts too. Wear yoga pants

@zeroLuck Pfft what's wrong with that? Well are you at least cute? Most guys will approach you sooner or later. Also are you living in dorms? I made great friends with my 3 roomies already. You can start with that and work your way up.

@iDrinkOJ nah man I'm a girl. With almost no cleavage** lol

@zeroluck are you a boy?

@darkpolearm It's funny because classes actually just started today. "This class is hard, right?" "But...we're not doing anything..." "I can see into the future."
@iDrinkOJ Sucks that I have absolutely no cleavage lol

It's so easy to just go out and talk to people in things you're involved in.
If you aren't involved with anything, then go out and do something. They weren't kidding about that being a good way to make friends.

Wear short shorts and show more cleavage. Apparently it works for all the girls at my school.

Best and easiest way to make a friend from my experience as well. Of course not in lecture halls only, but at events and during class

go out and just talk to people
the freshman especially will be friendly cuz they're also desperate to make friends

I didn't make a ton of friends my first semester because I was so socially awkward for the first couple weeks that I felt it was too late to actually start talking to the people I've been sitting beside all semester. I didn't like that at all, so I made an effort during the second semester. I usually just ask people what they're majoring, etc until a real conversation starts. Made a handful of friends last semester and become acquainted with a lot of people this way.

I would assume that it's not much different from high school. Since you have more freedom in college it should actually be a bit easier for you. Join clubs and stuff like that.

join some clubs, participate in college life activities, ask people in your class to study with you (ask for their number) etc.

just talk to the person beside you in your lecture halls..?

Not that difficult to approach people unless you've actually some type of disorder which makes it hard for you to do so. It's very easy to speak with new people and make friends.

Sit with people that appear interesting to you, talk with that one person in class that sits right next to you, open up to people & obliterate that awkwardness on elevators, ask if someone will help you study or if they have a book you're looking for, etc etc..

The same way you met your friends in elementary/middle/high school...

When I was a freshman, I just made it a goal to introduce myself to 5 people every day.

Just talk to people
