I’m a shy person who had few high school friends, but I managed to make a few college friends quite early on. They started as casual friends and then some of them gradually became close to me. In the meantime, I made more and more friends. I’d say that by the end of my first year I had quite a nice social group, but I actually met even more people as I got into my sophomore and junior years. I will note that it probably helps if you’re at a college where they let you choose where you live, because you can choose a place where you’re compatible with the people.

I’m a student blogger for MIT Admissions, and I actually wrote a recent [blog entry](http://jessie.mitblogs.com/archives/2006/07/making_friends.html) about making friends in college…hope it helps! :)
