Re: meet new people and make more friends

[QUOTE]I am pretty much in the same boat as umMars32. First year I pretty much went to work, went to school, and if I had time, hung out with old friends from High School. Never really go to meet or hang out with anyone new. Hopefully I can meet more people this year.[/QUOTE]

Re: meet new people and make more friends

[QUOTE]Hey :] This is my first year here and I'm hoping to meet some new people around campus and in my classes. Took two years off and I know hardly here. I didn't mind the orientation, except for the morning sessions - like the RESPECT and the learning to swim or whatnot.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE][QUOTE][QUOTE][QUOTE]In my first year at school, I didn't really meet anyone. So, this year I am really hoping to get to know more people and maybe end up with a few good friends from school.[/QUOTE] Don't worry, you are definitely not alone on this one. I'm also a first year, and I haven't really met many people yet. Instead, I've stuck to the few friends that have come here from my hometown. Still, I'd like to meet some new people, and who knows, maybe go out of my comfort zone and try something new. haha[/QUOTE] kind of seems like there should be some thing called, "this is the place to make friends and hang out club" ;-)[/QUOTE] yeah this place is too huge to really start forming connections with ppl like one would do in high school. seems that the trend goes as such: get to uni, not really know any ppl, stick to ppl u went to school with & yeah...that's pretty much it[/QUOTE]

Re: meet new people and make more friends

[QUOTE]To make friends at university some of the best things to try doing are a) go down to a student group that interests you and hang out there with people with common interests b) talk to the people in your classes and DON'T take classes with your old high school friends since it discourages meeting new people c) after class is over DON'T just go home, you meet waaaay more people and have waaay more fun at the university after classes are over. just going down to one of the computer labs or having dinner or watching a movie in one of the student lounges you end up running into many people you know from your classes/student groups and can have a fun time just hanging out/studying/having dinner or coffee with them. Most of all DON'T be afraid to talk to strangers, everyone wants a new friend so usually you won't get brushed off if you have something interesting to say.[/QUOTE]
