Most important thing is to be tolerant, accept people for what and who they are and they will do the same with you. College is where you will make life long friends so dont pretend to be someone you are not, be yourself, be polite, participate and smile a lot.
Reply:Live in the dorms at least your freshman year... look for study groups in your classes... take up a hobby where there is some sort of club... I tried fencing and a few others... you get to meet people and try something that you won't get the chance to when you are in the 'real world'.
Reply:Going into college I wasn't that social, I did not have many friends. I was the quiet type. When I transferred to college, I joined student organizations that I liked. I became active in the clubs and I lived in the dorms also...so if they had an event in the dorms I did my best to attend. I got to meet alot of people by being involved.





I would suggest getting into a club or two, be attend events in the dorms and on campus. Talk to classmates, form study groups.





I entered college shy, quiet and borderline anti-social. Now I am more outgoing, assertive, and social. It takes time to ease into talking to people, but if you keep showing up, it will get easier...and people will even start a conversation with you.





So just show up.
Reply:At university, there will be lots of societies to join. Join those that interest you. If you aren't confident then doing exercise or learning a sport will help. At first it will be very daunting, but over time the more healthier you feel, the more confident you will become.





It's a cliché but the more you put in the more you'll get out.





If you are a naturally shy person you might find it difficult to approach people, so try the following: smile when people look at you, and if someone speaks ask them questions. Also don't worry about what the other person is thinking of you. It's very difficult to be perfect so don't bother. Just be yourself. If you are a quiet person then there will be a lot of people who will respect this in you. Still waters run deep.





Bear in mind that you won't be the only person who is in this position. I went to university when I was 25 and again when I was 30. In each case I worried about if I'd make friends, and how I would do so. So does everyone else.





The student's union, and the university will do their best to help, but you do need to contact them should you feel down and worried.





Last bit of advice. University can be very liberating, it is a chance for you to stand on your own feet and learn about becoming an adult. I hope you enjoy it.
Reply:Join clubs, hang out on campus, go to events, study at the library, find a part-time job there. In fact, my closest friends now are the ones I worked with at the university health clinic. It's great cuz mostly students your age will be your co-workers. Also, make an effort to talk to your neighbors in class. Ask them for their email and number just in case you miss class..but use it also just to talk about class and from there, maybe you could end up talking outside of class about other things. Just try not to be so afraid to talk to people. Most of the time, they're feeling the same way and will feel relieved that you even talked to them.
Reply:live in a dorm of some kind. Keep your dorm room open and hang out in public areas. that's how I made my frieds in college.





Everyone is in the same boat as you: they're all in a new place with few friends. So keep yourself available and around, and you'll naturally make friends.
