<p>I go to a medium sized (~5000 student) university on the east coast, it’s been three weeks, and so far I hate it. I seem to be literally the only person who doesn’t already have a tight group of friends, and every one here is completely different from where I’m from. I’ve tried out at least 15 activities trying to find one that sounds interesting and has some people I identify with in it, but my school has a very limited selection of activities, so it’s kind of difficult. I’ve introduced myself to what seems like half of the freshmen class by now, but I just don’t click with any of the people here. I just feel like this is high school all over again, except this time it’s worse because I really don’t know anyone. Am I just crazy or is anyone else in the same boat as me?</p>
<p>You are not the only one.I get the same feeing and I’ve already spent more than 1 month in this college,big sized(16,000+?) university on the east coast…</p>
<p>Finally,I decided not to try anymore.I just focus on my homework and looking for the opportunities to transfer out…hmmm</p>
<p>I think it’s much easier to meet and get to know people in highschool. But the cliques in highschool can make you feel very uncomfortable.However,in big university,you can simply be a number.</p>
<p>you’re definitely not the only one. hang in there, and i hope things get better for you and everyone else who missed the day everyone decided to become best buds</p>
<p>I have it similar to you. One and a half weeks of school so far, I’ve made a few acquaintances but no friends. I’ve joined a few clubs, but each one has been so-so, too early to tell if it’ll go well or not. I’m also a junior transfer, so I have to start with upper-div classes right away. </p>
<p>I just worry if I don’t make friends in my next 2/3 years here in undergrad and improve my social skills, I may end up the rest of my life lonely and unsociable.</p>
<p>I’m having the same problem. It’s really sad, but I just can’t find anyone here I really care about. I definitely would rather be alone and get my work done than hang out with them. I never had problems clicking with people either…I’m still really tight with a lot of my hs friends (and I’m a junior year transfer).</p>
<p>Yep, yep. Sucks, don’t it? On the plus side, my grades have been good so far, so if things don’t get better I might suck it up for four years…</p>
<p>In the same boat, made a few friends here and there but dont even have a group to chill with. Get invited out but only by people I really don’t want to party with. </p>
<p>Should get better with time, place change. I hate the dorm im living in, its so dead.</p>
<p>its seems that for me, I’m gonna make my only friends in my classes, not in clubs or dorms, like it is for most peopel</p>
<p>“On the plus side, my grades have been good so far…”</p>
<p>Wait until midterms :)</p>
<p>Sob, sob - I have four midterms next week. Ahhhhh I’m so behind on my reading.</p>
