Hi FCLCTransfer2021! I was also a transfer student to FCLC so can share a bit about my own experience, although it was a few years ago and I’m a girl.

I was also afraid that the scene wouldn’t really be my taste, but it was easier than I expected to find people I clicked with. I think now that Gabelli is at LC, too, the vibe has changed even more from the theater stereotype - although that certainly does still exist, too.

Like you, I had a lot of friends at other NYC colleges, so mostly hung out with them at Columbia and NYU parties on the weekends. I also made friends through internships, an off-campus job, etc. Looking back, I do regret not making more of an effort to make friends on campus, though, so I definitely recommend joining clubs and going to on-campus events. I lived off-campus and really only went to campus 2 or 3 days a week for class and really kept to myself when I was there. I would also recommend talking to people when hanging out in the commuter lounge - everyone did always seem really friendly but I was too shy to chat with people

I hope this is helpful! Feel free to DM me with any other questions!
