Is there a way for you to connect with other CUNY Brooklyn students who live in Queens? People you could hang out with at night and maybe even sit with on your commutes. Ideally you could find people taking the same classes as you so you could start to put together study groups.
As an extrovert you have a head-start over many other students who are struggling with college social life. You can be the organizer bringing together others in the same boat (or train).
