Dorming as a Sophomore

In all truthfulness, I made maybe two friends through the dorms. The rest were met how you’re meeting people now - class, parties, clubs, etc. Honestly, it’s kind of a weird friendship you form with the people on your floor if you do all become friends. Last year I was on a floor of all girls and we all said hi, talked in the bathroom, etc. but it was more like people to gossip with than actual friends. This year, I’m a sophomore living on a coed floor and to tell you the truth, I’m not even sure who lives here besides me and another girl down the hall. No one hangs out here, everyone has their things to do elsewhere. Keep pushing yourself to talk to the friends (acquaintances) you have now and invite them to do stuff with you like joining you for dinner after a class or something. I don’t think living off campus will have such a big impact on your social life after freshman year unless it’s more than like 5 minutes away.
