<p>KYLASH- If you go to NYU this is my recommendation on meeting people. </p>
<p>Start with your floor: it will be filled with interesting people who want to meet people and find things to do in the city. This is now I met most of my friends, but some floors and dorms are less social than others. </p>
<p>Join a club (or more): Student Councils for each school are a good place to start. Most of them give out free food (something we love at NYU), and consist of several dozen people every week. I spend a lot of time with people I met at Student Council. Join any club though, we deal with the fact that we are so decentralized by having great student organizations. I guarantee that there will be one you will be interested in. Alternatively, join a club sport if you are at all athletic, sports are always looking for people willing to dedicate time. I have done all three. </p>
<p>Classes: A last line of defense, but try to talk to people in your classes. This will be easier if you are in smaller classes, like any of the freshman seminars offered in CAS. I took a seminar and met one of my best friends in it. </p>
<p>The complaint about NYU is that it is hard to meet people. This is probably the biggest complaint (maybe tied with money). If you try, and don’t sit in your room all day, you will meet people.</p>
